Ok this has happened twice now, I have a 99 GT, and while going 30-50mph, the car just dies. No sputter, no major shaking, nothing. It just dies, like the ignition was shut off. The radio, A/C & everyother electric item doesn't even flinch it seems like. LIke I said its only happened twice, and about a week and a half apart. Once at night, once during the day? I don't know what it could be, maybe fuel blockage or something? Any ideas? Oh, It starts right back up with out a problem, and runs great..?!?!

probably your fuel filter or fuel pump. I would say its most likely the pump, but it wouldnt hurt to start with the filter(i always fix the cheaper option first).

MarcusM

Yeah, seems like it is the fuel, but would it shut the car down completly if it was the pump, then restart with out a problem?

Mine did that a couple times. It did it like twice in a week and then it didnt do it again till about 6-8 months later. In fact, my Cobra has done it once in the two months Ive owned it. I think it may be a glich in the computer that hits from time to time because I keep all my inspections up to date and ALWAYS on time.

well thats never happened to me going that fast but it has happened, my problem was the throttle body was sticking but i have installed a 75mm accufab since then and no problems since.

it defiantly could. Fuel pumps tend to work erratically then fail, rather than failing all at once

MarcusM

Ok today on the way to work, it died twice. So, apparently something is wrong, i don't think that, by any means, is normal... So if it is the fuel pump, how would I know for sure? I don't think there is away.. just do to the fact that it happens speratically... Anyother suggestions about what it could be or how I could test the fuel pump before buying a new one.

MarcusM

No the engine light isn't on at all... Yes I am driving, not braking, this morning, i was on the highway when it happened and then when I was at a stoplight.. ???
