posted by  someone claiming to be notts forest on  Thu Aug 29 13:55 CST 2002 [RELATED]

When im driving the engine will just stop running,no sputting like when out of gas,more like when the coil wire comes off.I then pullover wait anyware from 2 to 60 min then it will start,sometimes it will keep doing this all day then it will be ok for a few days,im getting gas but sometimes no spark from the coil
I have taken it to a mechanic when i had to get it towed they could not find anything wrong! it never quit when driven.I wish it would just stop running then i would be able to trace?Hope someone can help!!

    Also check the 25 amp fuel system fuse on the driver's side inner fender. A bad connection of cracked holder there could cause this symptom.

    A replacement hold can be had from any parts retailer for $3.

    Sounds like fuel pump relay to me, almost exactly the same symptoms as I had. Are you sure you are getting gas when this happens.
