Started but died 3 seconds later
'05, GT, auto, Convertible, 17K miles, 13 months old. All TSB have been fixed including new gas tank. After 7 weeks of rain out here in California, we had a sunny afternoon (75F). Car would turn over but die after 3 seconds. Sounded like it was starved for fuel. It did this twice. I had it towed to the dealer who fired it right up this morning and found no problems. I have had the car for a while so it has seen 105F days as well as 30F days. Has anyone else had this problem? Rich

RE: Started but died 3 seconds later
Maybe bad fuel pump relay. Check fuse as well, though if the shop started it without changing the fuse, that obviously wouldn't be it, but a relay can fail and stick in one position or another until it is jossled lose by, say, a trip on a tow truck.
