Problem started after i went over a set of RR tracks.engine died and wouldn't restart,next day it started ran fine all day,went over a bump in the road and it died again.waited 1/2 hour and it started ran fine for a day now I am back to it not starting.How can I check to see if the fuel-pump is getting power w/o dropping the tank?I read there is suppose to be a test wire under the hood but, I can't locate i. I have a 1991 chevy s10 blazer 4wd my car was chugging for a while and now it wont start at all not sure if it is the relay or fuel pump

I firstly would check relay. You can use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the relay. If you get a reading, it is good, If not it is bad. Than disconnect fuel pump wire harness and do the same.

2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI dying or limp mode

P228C, it has applied exclusively to diesel powered vehicles. It has also meant that the powertrain control module (PCM) had detected a low voltage signal from the control circuit of the electronic fuel pressure regulator, which reflected insufficient fuel pressure.

You mean it will crank but not start ? Do you have normal compression, spark and fuel pressure ?

Dying 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

I wouldn't think catalytic converter, without it giving some indication that it was going bad, but without testing it is hard to say.
When it cranks and won't start, check for battery voltage to the coil on the dark green wire, with key ON. If you have power at the coil, it might be a bad coil. If no power to the coil, it could be a Crank Position Sensor or the Cam Position Sensor inside the distributor. If one of those is bad, it can stop the computer from sending power to the coil.
Good luck.

Just turns off on it's own, Wait 60 sec. restart press pedel it dies.

This engine is electronically controlled so the first thing that must be done here is to have the systems control computer tested for fault codes and then do the proper diagnostics based on those codes.

Engine cranks but won't start

If it is an electrical Fuel Pump, you will hear the pump whirring as soon as you turn the key to "ON". If you can't hear it, the fuel pump is bad. If it is a mechanical fuel pump on the engine, remove the hose that goes into the carburator. And crank the engine. It should pump the gas out without a problem. If it does not, the fuel pump is bad. Also check the relay to the fuel pump and the shutoff valve. It is more likely that it is a relay problem since it hits a bump and goes off then it carries a current again. Probably a bad relay under the hood for the fuel system.
