On my way to work this morning, my car lost power and stalled. I pulled off to the side of the road and it wouldn't start back up on the first try. I waited about a minute and it started and ran as if nothing had happened. The only other issue I've had with the car since I got it a couple months back was it not starting after about a 4 mile trip. In that situation is started and ran fine after waiting a minute or two also.
I've done some searching around on brickboard and it sounds like I should start by checking my fuel pump relay. The previous owner reported some issues with it not starting, but also said it only happened when the car had less than a half tank of gas. From that, I assumed it was a in-tank fuel pump issue and replaced that soon after I got it. I'm embarrassed to say so, but I haven't verified that new pump is working. I currently have over 3/4 of a tank of fuel, so even if the new pump wasn't working, I wouldn't think it would cause the problem I had this morning.
Is there anything else I should look at? Crank position sensor...etc?
I'm relatively new to working on cars, so please excuse my ignorance.
Thanks,
Matt
