Ive been blessed with my little project...pretty much. Never had to get her towed anywhere. But today in a freak snow storm she told me to step off. I have known for quite some time she needed a new fuel pump. In the last week or so I have had to keep my foot slightly on the accelerator to keep her from shutting off. Just when I finally committed to ordering the pump, and while I was at it a few others based on suggestions I have gotten here about the 100,000 mile mark, she died. I believe it to be the fuel pump. But since I waited so long I wonder what else it might be.

Let me give a little background. A few minutes before she died the oil light came on. Recently I replaced the main seal. I checked the oil level and it was normal. I was going to drive her home when she croaked. I pulled the key out of the ignition and the crankshaft kept turning. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Please tell me what that means in addition to my fuel pump and tune up repairs.
