Is it a 91 v6 or v8. Either way try you distributor it could be bad or a fuel pump or fuel filter could be clogged. hope this helps.

I have no idea what that light "infl rest" means but you might have a manual or a Haynes or Chiltons book. I thought about it somemore and seems like you have a spark problem and not a fuel delivery problem. Look at your serpentine belt for cracks tears or it could be a pulley on that whole sytem is loose and wobbling or something hope this leads you in the right direction ro getting it fixed.

"Infl Rest" means inflatable restraint meaning there is a problem with your airbag system. You might want to get that checked, you wouldn't want that going off unprovoked.

mine blinks for an unusaully long timeat start up but it shouldnt be blinking while your driving thats a problem

as for the engine check your plugs n wires mine was farting an sputtering for a while seemed like it was fuel related till i accidently touched the #5 wire and it arched into my hand. changed them and it runs like a champ now (cept for the oil pressure thing)

hey if your car is going through starters that often try to turn the engine manually at the crank and see if it turns if you have to apply alot of pressure to turn the engine manually the you might have internal problem meaning its starting to seize
