code 42 help
hey guys past 2 days ive been having some problems with the rs,2 times it stalled on me.just like as if u were to shuit the key off
i checked the est wire and it was fine,the car has a brand new pickup coil/coil/cap rotor,plugs and wires/and the icm is about 1 year old,
the code also says fault @ fp cutoff relay circut.
its an intermitant problem it happened 2 times today on my way home,the first time the motor died while i was driving but fired back up on its own,was crusing about 40 mph when the motor just shut off and came back on.just liek as if i shut the ign key off and on really fast.i smelled a ****load of gas inside the car.
a fe wmins later it did it again this time it would not restart for a few mins,as i was cranking the wwas so much raw fuel comming out the tail pipes.my ? is if that relay were even to stay on wouldnt the fuel injectors be closed as to were it wasnt flooding the engine with fuel.
or is it possible i have an injector thats leaking down,still dosent explain the stalling problem though

Well, since our cars don't have a Fuel Pump Cutoof Relay, it's kind of hard for that to be the problem. Even if the FP Relay went bad, there's a redundant circuit in the Oil Pressure Switch that allows the FP to run as long as there is oil pressure.
I would suggest checking FP pressure and obviously checking for fuel leaks.
When you smelled the gas was it because you were cranking and it wasn't starting?

as i cranked the car i could see white/black smoke out the back.kept cranking it and it finally started and ran fine.gas smell went away and it started.now even if th eignition system died i dont see,having as much raw fuel come out the tailpipes as i had.
i did the check for fuel leaks and i couldnt find any
