Please read carefully

Pay the $125

get the car scanned

Look at all the posts you are making and the parts you are suggesting to throw at it.

You are as the saying goes, pissing into the wind. Get it scanned.

Try running the car when its dark out. when it gets warm and starts to die see if the coil is arcing....shorting.... out. It will be pretty visible and blue. The coil isnt hard to replace and is pretty cheap. I replaced the opti in my car last year and then the coil went bad. My car would start fine then get a mile or two down the street and die when it got warm.

Hey.... I dont believe that its an electrical problem....reason being its a fuel problem and I did alot of researching and dont think its the pump... after it shuts off you can spray starting fluid in the breather and it will start up(runs like **** as long as your spraying it in their, but runs!) so0o0ooo I believe its the low oil pressure sensor. Do 1 of you know if it will stop sending gas when oil pressure goes so low? I believe it has somthing to do with it because the oil pressure gauge is reading half way to first notch... I know thats low but I dont think the gauge works because the engine sounds fantastic with no noise what so ever... Im going to post another thread about it also because theres alot of ppl saying it will shut off fuel and alot of ppl saying it wont... plzzZzzzzz let me know.... I'm going to buy one tomarrow and install it and prey it fixes it!!!
