Could be your fuel pump might be going or clogged.

word


I walked out of work the other day and my car wouldnt start. I removed the negative battery cable and put it back on and it started up fine. It happened to me again later that day. When I got home I remembered that I had taken the nut off the bolt that holds the terminal in place. I guess the terminal wasnt making good contact with the battery.

yeah, I think all 95's do this. Mine does the same thing. Stalls for no reason. Mine has only done it like 3 or 4 times since I have had it (3 years). After researching it, i was told TFI module. replaced that and it didnt do it for the longest time. Then, it did it another time (like a year later) and it was a very hot day. Didnt do anything about it, then it ran fine. If you take it to a mechanic, they will probaly just think your nuts like they do to me. It will run fine and then for some reason stall out. Give it a minute, then start it up and goes for a while. On another forum, I was told the "stator" could be the problem. It helped some people.

I am going to replace the fuel pump- mine whines so loud, i dont think it should sound like that. Im hoping its just a fuel pump, that heats up too loud and something shuts it down. Mine will almost run like its out of gas, then start up after a minute or so like something had to cool off.

Keep me updated if you find something out here... there are alot of 95's out there that do this and no reason why... just people dropping some mad cash into the car trying to "find" whats wrong
