i have a problem thats getting annoying now...2day while i was driving on the freeway the car died on me, and then i was craking it while it was still roling and it turned back on then shot off again...so then i pulled over and tried 2 start it again and nothing, it just kept cranking over, i tried 2 push start it and nothing...i check for fuel and the motor was getting it, i was ganna check for spark but i decided just 2 call the AAA, so thne when i got home i when 2 go check for spark but when i went 2 crank it the car started just fine...so idk whats going on, any ideas? and no CEL!

thanx

 

i would check if the main relay buzz while key on and when u are havub=n the problem.i know u said u getting fuel but my main relay problem was allways intermitent so who knws if that wen u checked for fuel the main relay worked

 

Next time the car dies or won't start, check for spark and listen for the priming of the fuel pump to narrow down the problem.

 

check your timing belt.. it might be loose. i had the same problem.

That doesn't sound like the issue.

 

probably a bad igniter

 

how do i check if it has a bad igniter?

 

if ur timing belt is loose it could cause it to skip which could make your engine missfire and stall while your cracking into it or even just geting onto the highway. if you keep cranking it it can get the timing back enough to get it started but will eventually die again

 

He said that it starts fine now, so it's only an intermittent problem. Once your timing belt has slipped, it doesn't unslip and reslip intermittently.

 

ok well i put my friends dizzy on and let the car warm up and ran it and stuff and ran perfect..i think it it my dizzy
