You need to see what codes yer throwing.
CPS does sound like a possible item. About $40 or so.

when the car cools down bring it to a local auto parts store that will pull the code for you.

If it is the sensor be sure to buy from the right vender.

I had this problem start last week and checked with the dealer for the going rate, what a suprise, the price is through the roof --- $265 what a rip off!!!

I just replaced my sensor today...
$40 for the part and $40 to ship UPS red, I'm impaitent OK...

Be sure to buy from Autohaus AZ:
Your Parts Search Returned 1 Part(s)

Read this post for Crankshaft Position Sensor very helpful:

Well why are you doing burn-outs in your crossfire? Abuse will tend to cause these types of problems in any vehicle. Try to take it to a chrysler tech & run the car for codes. Also stop abusing your car if you need it for reliable transportation.
