so i was driving down the street about 30 mph, and out of nowhere my rpms dropped and the car just died.......so i pull over and try to restart it, it turned over idled for about 1 sec. then just died again.....then i tried it again but this time with the gas pedal to the floor and it fired and ran fine!! im stumped as hell...by the way the cars a 88 dx hatch, multiported and obd1 swapped........anybody with any input please help....thanks!

 

sounds like what happened to my car. My car would die while driving. and it idled so crazy and low. And it wouldnt start just like you said. I think my problem was my idle position sensor. I just unplugged it and plugged it back in. and it idles perfect and doesnt die when i drive. but i think i just got lucky

 

sounds kinda like a vacuum leak too.

 

strange...

check the condition of the dizzy internals and maybe replace the fuel pump...

 

yea i was thinkin the fuel pump too, im gonna do a tune up and see where that gets me...
