My car has recently been fixed of it's "turning off while driving and not starting", troubles. What it turned out to be was the power/live wire on the car end of the fuel pump relay, it was loose. Whoever had the car in the past rigged up the relay so bad. Everytime I hit a bump or anything like that it would move. My mechanic said it could have caused a fire because it was put together so badly. It still had to rig it up but it's alot ALOT better. The power wire now is alone with a female end and it plugs/snaps into the relay (male-end). In other words, as an anti-theft system, I can unplug that wire and the car won't start. Kind of cool if you ask me.

Well I don't have the car back yet. He's still doing some stuff to it for the trip. I'm leaving Sunday and it will be ready Friday or Saturday. I called ya to see how everything was going, to see what you've been up to. Give me a call tomorrow or something, it's my last day at work so I'll talk to ya then. I am psyched about the car being fixed though, I can't wait to see how it rides to Florida.
