01 that will stall out, and then crank to beat hell and not fire. Took it to the shop and they replaced the ignition fuse(15 amp) under the hood with a breaker. When it dies, just throw it in neutral, cycle the ignition and off you go. Only problem, you never know when it will do it- in traffic, at the light, its just random. Any thoughts???

Find another shop. The one you took it too fixed the symptom, not the cause of the problem.

Blown fuses/tripped breakers are caused by a short. I agree w/ Bustedback - someone needs to track down the shorted component or wiring.

After months of leaving this on the back burner I finally decided to really dive into it. Turns out to be the crank ps pigtail on the wiring harness.
