Possibly, but I would pull the fender liner and look at the hose connections first. In general, the EVAP system can make the car run rough, but should not shut it off.

Thanks JFP...we're getting closer. I have multiple issues. The squeak under the front right fender has turned out to be the brakes so I can deal w/that as a separate issue. The good news is now I know it’s not the EVAP canister or shutoff valve squeaking. I like the idea of blowing compressed air through the EVAP canister purge valve (#1 in the diagram below). I have a pancake compressor. How would I go about blowing compressed air through it (any advice, diagrams or sites to help)?

Secondly, and most important, is the engine shutting off. How do I check the Crank Position Sensor or should I just replace it? If replacement, any tips, diagrams, or sites to help me tackle the beast…?

Thanks again for everything,
Dean
