It restarts right away but it may stall out 2 or 3 times in a row.

I have a new fuel pump assembly installed about 3 months ago but it was doing that intermittently beforehand as well.

Btw, press the quote button to answer specific questions, like i did here.

mugzy: ok here's what i got, it shuts off, will restart, but stalls a few times.
soooo- let's assume the fuel pump is o.k, since problem was there before, your losing ignition spark or the signal to the engines computer or both and since both are generated fromt the ignition system the problem could possibly be crankshaft position sensor failing (generates rpm signal) without this signal the engines computer cannot generat spark or fuel injector pulses. hense the intermitant shut off. and these sensors fail like this.

yes we've had the obd-2, we're on to the next thing now (can't rembember what it's called tho

) it's still new I haven't had much to do with it yet.

I've only been doing it for about 14 years, the cars are fine, it's the customers I don't like
