So far...its been a week and my car has died on me 6 times. The strange thing is....my car ONLY DIES @ night. (I think its because of the electrical usage of my lights @ night) Long story short...i drive....then it loses power...like electrical power...and just dies showing the battery and oil sign. I try to start it up...it cranks but no start? So i just let it sit there for a good 5 mins and then it'll start back up again. Car idles like crap...i know it isnt my battery...because all of my lights work fine....and i know it isnt the alternator because i disconnected the + while my car was on and it didnt die. So the only thing that can be wrong is my spark plugs...my distrubutor is new....so it still works fine. I havent changed my spark plugs in about 3 months now. Do you guys think the problem is my spark plugs?

Sounds like your main relay acting up for the starting problems but it could be your altenator is about to take a **** on you.. goodluck

Thats bad...what about the spark plugs!

since it seems having the headlights on affects it,troubleshoot the ELD.you can find the procedure in a shop manual.if you don't have one,try here:

i'd say main relay. next time it happens listen to hear if your fuel pump kicks in, if not, main relay

A long shot, but run some injector clearer through that thing. This would be a much more solid guess if it happened during the day too, but it can't hurt.

whats a main relay? ?

trooper0641

Whenever i drive my car....after a while...it just loses power out of no where and just dies with the battery and oil sign turned on. And then i would have to wait about 10 mins or so...to let it cool off...and then it'll start again.

Does the main relay have something to do with my fuel?
