Default Hmmm got a problem

I was coming back from out of town about a hour away. Anyways about 5mins from the house my car let a back fire, plus some flames, looked like it in the rear view. then the car died. I get out check everything, nothing i can see that is wrong. Any ideas or suggestions of what might be wrong?? TIA, oh about 5 mins or so i tried to start it, it wouldnt start, but like on the 5th try it started right up?

What is your setup? Have you checked your plugs?

Some sentence structure would be nice. You know a couple of periods here and there. Well in any event you should check the plugs. Car died on me one time and I didn't check the plugs. Therefore I towed it to the shop and 10 mins later they tell me it was because my plugs were fouled up. Those were the most expensive plugs I ever used.

Well sorry i didnt give you proper sentence structure{PERIOD} But i work a hellva hours,2nd/3rd shift 13hrs{PERIOD} Plus the wife and I have just moved, so my pc is in the floor for right now{PERIOD} So when you are very tired after work plus trying to type on the floor its kinda hard to make sure every email and post on UBB forums are perfect {PERIOD} Hmmm sorry for being a *** been a long week and its only Tuesday. :D Thanks for the Advice, my mechanic checked it out. It was the plug that goes from the coil to the dist. One of the connectors got lose, I am think the rpm wire. I was such in a panic, trying to get to work i didnt even think about looking there So thanks for the advice all .
