I was driving home yesterday on the interstate when my car all of a sudden shuts off. All lights and everything worked but the motor died. I pulled over tried to start it it cranked for a while then fired right up ran great for 30 seconds then died again.

Got it towed home. Went to start it again it cranked for a while, started and ran great for 30 seconds then dies. Doesn't bog or run rough just turns off.

I have tried wiggeling the key all around while it was running and it didnt cause it to turn off.

What could this be?

 

Check or clean ignition switch.
check main relay for soldered joints crack.

 

sounds like ignition switch.

 

Ok I took the main relay out and it looked fine, no solder cracks. Could it still be bad?

It ran great this morning, drove it for about 15 minutes then it died again and doing the same thing. It did have a hickup a few seconds before shutting off. Wont crank back up and seems to struggle turning over.

I have wiggled the key almost every way and i dont think its the ignition switch. could it still be the main relay or distributor or maybe ECM?

its not pulling any codes other than P0113 because of the hot air intake lol.

 

You can wiggle the key all day long but if its dirty inside the contacts wont make a solid connection. Simple 15mins job to remove and clean will at least let you rule out its being an issue.

Fix the cel code. May or may not be related. Check all your ground connections. Make sure everything is clean and tight. No corrosion.

 

the electrical portion of the switch doesnt care what you do to the tumbler.
