Starts then stalls

Most of the time the car starts and runs fine. Once in a while it will start then die. If you start it again it is fine, Also I find the car will never start on first try but catches right away on second try.

Re: Starts then stalls

Could be running the fuel pump on the oil pressure switch, possibly a bad fuel pump relay.

Re: Starts then stalls

O2 sensor could be faulty. giving a bad reading and flooding it out or not giving it enough fuel causing it to die.
