I have a kill switch for my fuel pump, and that got messed up about... 4 months ago but that got fixed...

i'm pretty sure it could be the main relay...

The same happened with me yesterday.
I am curious also how I can check whether there is fuel and spark.

The main relay usually cause the problem that the engine will not start when the car and the cabin is warm, right? At least this was the case for me and re soldering it solved the problem.

Generally the main relay is not the culprit for a stall while driving, here's some links for testing:

Well, my cap and rotor both failed on me. But i know there must be another problem. I smacked around my main relay and it ALMOST started, i hear the fuel pump working also so my ks isn't affecting it. .
