my car of 3 days has stalled 200



Rule of thumb with these cars when they don't start, is to first check for spark. You've got to have spark for the fuel system to function, so no sense looking for fuel until you know you have spark.

Typical "hot start" culprits are the crankshaft speed sensor (at top of bell housing) and ignition power stage/module.

For what it's worth, the original crank sensor *always* needs replaced in these cars.

Also, check the main fuel system relay, they develop cracks in the solder... which will then shut down the fuel pumps.

Also also, make sure the fuse panel (and fuses!) have squeaky clean contacts... and clean all connections at the battery and the grounds on the screws that hold the fuel rail.
