My car has been spit sputtering at idle lately so i decided to give it some gas hoping maybe it would clear out something. Well as im in 2nd and the rpms are rising all of a sudden the car seems to just stall out.

It shuts down engine wise and i started hitting the gas pedal to give it gas hpoing i culd get it back. No luck. It sputtered a bit and then just stalled out. I still had all electrics. I then tried to restart the car after letting it sit for 5 minutes. It kicked over for a second then nothing.

I towed it home then sprayed some starter fluid in it and tried to start it. It did the same thing. Any ideas. I'm guessing its the fuel pump. I know i should check it with a fuel pressure gauge and w/e. but I thought i would post this.

 

Sounds like the fuel pump is failing. I would check that first. If that is ok, then check the module in the distributor.

Hope this helps!

 

now the distibutor module is on there. its like that little sensor thing?
