so i was driving around a curve going about the speed limit. i had a 1/4 tank of gas, and then bam! car shuts off. it cranks but won't start. i was thinking that it could be the fuel pump or the injectors. i let it sit for about 1 1/2 hours, and then it started and immidatly died out again. any ideas, anyone else had this problem? there is no gas on the ground so i think that the fuel lines are ok. any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

thanks,

Galen

before anyone else says it, I get to ~ befriend the search button, my son... there's a shitload of SR starting threads out there.

If you've got the standard 200k+ mile fuel pump, its a possibility, but theres a couple things you can check to narrow it down. First off, when you're cranking it, do you smell gas? Thats a good indicator it's a spark problem rather than fuel. Pull a spark plug out, reconnect the igniter, and set the spark plug on the valve cover and have someone look for a spark when you crank it.

Hope this helps, and search, search search!!!
