main relay would be my guess... get a friends relay and test it out. its also known as fuel pump relay.

what vehicle do you own?


do you have any air fuel hacks like a vtec controller?

but certain vehicles have diff relays make sure you get the one acording to your make and model.

Does it have spark when it's acting up? A main relay rarely causes a stalling problem.

I had a similar problem, with my car running and than just dying while driving down the street, and than it would start back up and 20-30 min later it would die again. But my RPM gauge was going haywire, so i replaced the ignitor....Never had the problem again

My car wouldnt turn over a lil bit ago. Had no clue what to look for. Just happened to grab the starter ground and it was loose. Started right up. Its a painstacking process to find out whats wrong.
