Bluefox91LX · 01-06-2003, 05:08 PM

i was driving after filling up with some gas, i got going up to about 4500 RPM's and it DIED!!! i couldnt hear it because of the music, but i just felt the power steering kick off, so i restarted it (after it had to crank a few times) and once it started, i revved it up a little and let off the clutch and went off.....not more than 800 feet later it just died again!!! this time, i had to crank it and it wouldnt start!!! i eventually had to crank it so much that the battery died and i had to push it home. it sucked. can someone help me figure out whats going on. this happened last week too, except it was just not starting when i tried to start it in the morning. i know i have fuel, because i have a gauge. i think it's something with the ignition or timing or something. HELP!!!!
