car died while idling, started right up

posted by  someone claiming to be kswan on  Sun Apr 14 16:11 CST 2002 [RELATED]

So I was sitting idling for about 5 minutes and all of sudden the car died, like I turned the key to off though I didn't. Started back up and ran and idled perfectly fine. I gave it the Italian tune up today but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary. Just wouldn't want this to happen on the freeway at 75 mph.

any ideas? Should I be concerned?

thanks in advance

Kirk S

You lost spark or fuel, impossible to know which with information available. Italian tune up will not fix that problem.
Has your fuel pump relay beeen resoldered yet? This is a preventive maintenance measure but it could be the cause.
So what kind of car and engine do you have?

It's a 240 with a B230 engine. The Italian tune-up was done before this happened and the car ran fine before it stalled and after I started it up it ran fine also.

thanks
