i have a 90 chrysler lebaron,for my everyday driver,it quiet on me in carisle pa,2 hours from my house,it was the fuel pump,i put another one in the tank,it would take a few minutes to start,like not enough fuel pressure or something,after i would get it started,like after it was warm a little bit,it would run great,most of the time,4-5 times,i had it shut off on me on the highway,lost fuel pressure,and most times wouldnt start back up,till like the next day,so finally i said to hell with that fuel pump,slapped on my nos external fuel pump,its about 1-2 foot outside the tank,now,sometimes the fuel pump wont even turn on,other times,it will,but wont be at full power,because the car tries to start but wont,like again not enough pressure,so where would the relay be?would that be whats wrong?i really need help.sorry for the long post,thanks for your time.

I had a very similar problem. I was cruising down I-90 at about 80mph for quite some time when my Beretta started to buck a little. I slowed it down to 65 and it didn't seem to matter. Once in a while it would buck/bog. After a little bit more driving it finally just died on me. I took it to 2 shops and they both told me it was bad gas.
Anyway it seemed that the car would fire up fine when cold but when it was hot (parked in a parking lot while i'm in the store) I'd come out and it wouldn't start until the car cooled down.
My problem was I had 1 bad and 1 almost bad injector. On my Beretta this took 1 minute to diagnose once I knew what I was looking for. I have injector harnesses on the back of the plenum.
Check your ohm readings hot AND cold. You can do cold first. I'm not sure what the numbers are supposed to be on a Chry but they shouldn't be very different from the next inj.
