this only happens like once in a while
but when i start up the car dies on me for no reason
and then i crank it over but not starting
and then i wait like 2 mins and vroom it starts again?
VERY weird. does anyone know what this could be?
im wondering if its cuz of spark or cuz of fuel

 

are you running any sort of engine management?

 

bone stock D series motor
except for i have a cheapo CAI

 

sense i bought my car 2 years ago mines do the same thing . it does it lke once in a blue moon. sense then ive swapped in another motor and everything and it still does it once in a while and still havent figured it out

 

ive heard some people say its the Fuel pump, but i dunno ill still give it a check? but then i dont understand if it was that, then why would it start a minute after waiting

exactly mines do the same thing but i have a new 255 walbro pump and nothing changed.

 

hmm.. anyone?

 

A couple of thoughts on the matter -

fuel pump may be the problem, but I'd say that probably wasn't it... if it were the fuel pump, you would probably be running into the problem a lot more regularly.

Main relay would be my guess. I know that my hatch gave me this problem for a long time before the main relay finally died. Depending on temperature, humidity, etc, the main relay could be doing it. I'd recommend pulling it, opening it up, and making sure you don't have any dry solder joints in there.
