Man! I don't get it, I finally get my car pimped and now this! I was driving down the road today and just suddenly lost power. Pulled over to the side of the road and after about 5 minutes, it fired up. I put it in gear and when I gave it gas it died again.:thinkerI turned it off completely and opened the hood (I already had the underhood fuseblock cover removed as I was replacing the headlight motor fusable link) checked all fuses, moved inside checked all standard fuses (although none are for ignition inside the cabin of the car) went back to the engine compartment and unplugged/replugged all the harness plugs. She fired up, then died. I did this drill again and put the fuse cover back on the underhood block, this time it fired up and ran ok.Twice it seemed like it wanted to die but kicked right back up, so I'm not out of the woods yet. Any help?:help

need to determine if its a spark prob or a fuel prob. if its a sudden, "holy cow nothing is happening" its likely ign. if the car just seems to be getting slugish it would be more likely fuel. i gotta go to church now so ill check back later.
