well i have a 91 hatch std and some times my car will die. not sure what it is i think its the fuel pump but dont know.also when i take short trips it wont start up for like five mins and it so frustrating so can any one help me out

 

when was the last time you changed your fuel filter?


is you car getting adequate spark?

you can remove the "ignition module" from your dizzy and bring it to autozone and they can test to see if its still good.

 

Try changing out your main relay found above the hood pop lever

 

well i dont think the fuel filter has ever been changed but i did think about changing.

Classic main relay failure. Do a search. There's tons of info here about this. There's even some tutorials about how to repair it yourself. I've done it several times, and it solves the problem every time.

 

Mine did the same thing but when it was was hot out side it woudnt start up u would have to wait like 5min and then it will start up if u can get your hand on another distubutor switch them and see if that fixes the problem but if not go and buy a new distubutor cap and rotor and that should fix the problem I think if not get back to us and will give u more trouble shooting.
