My car is a 1998 240sx, stock, Thanks for your help in advance

Mi problem is that, yesterday for no reason the motor stoped while i was driving. I start it again, and worked normally, then i had to pump the accelerator to start the car, and worke fine again. Then it didin't start any more, so i thinked it was the battery a friend pass me current(electricity) and the motor started, but after 5 minutes idling the car stoped again, i repeated that for 5 times, and the motor keeps stoping and before it stopped the ABS, AIR BAG and O/D ligths started blinkg.

i Don't know whats happening with the car, the battery it's almost new,

could it be the fuel pump?

i apologize for my english.

Thaks for your help

if you want to test your fuel pump, jump the fuel pump relay n listen for the fuel pump to kick on, if it dose or starts pumping then dies out then its ur pump, if not, u need to give more info

Sounds like your alternator. Check the voltage when the car is running, it should be over 13.5. Also check the 75 amp alternator fuse.
