White93z34 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 get a fuel pressure gauge and find out. check for spark while your at it. Quote
Dannymik Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 before it dies how does the car feel and once you do get it going again how good is she running? Quote
CutThroat96 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 ill be driving and the gas will go in and out then just die. it runs perfectly when it starts Quote
RacerX Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Could be a fuel pressure regulator problem. Quote
CutThroat96 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 ok i tested the valve on the end of the fuel rail.... it sprayed good at first.. then i drove my car until it died and when i tested it, it just sort of spilled out. whats this mean? clogged fuel filter?? Quote
CutThroat96 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Posted March 14, 2005 ok well someone said i need a new computer. would this fix it? Quote
CuttySup Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Don't dive into that when it could be something else. I would replace the fuel filter. It's cheap and easy, and you probably need it anyway. Quote
CutThroat96 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Posted March 15, 2005 changed the fuel filter, checked for codes, checked fuel pressure and spark. im gona try the crank position sensor tomorrow. some mechanics plus some people on here said it might be this. its not too expensive either so ill take my chance.

Last spring I changed the CPS, fuel filter, checked a bunch of stuff, everything checked out ok. It ran ok until Oct then started doing the same thing, I drove it home one day, parked it, and it hasn't started since. Just last night the Pres. of PACGP came over and was working on it. He was checking the injectors and accidently cut the wire to one injector and voila it started - it was only running on 5 cylinders but it was running. It seems the wireing to that injector was shorting the system out, causing all the injectors not to work. So now I have to test the rest of the injectors and replace the one that is shorting out. I don't know if this will be of any help in your situation, but I figured I'd tell you what happened in my case. Suzi Quote
