SOURCE: Car Runs and Loses Power and Quits Running

Try cleaning the fuel pump filter. Under the seat behind the driver lift the carpet and you will find a round cover with six screws remove the cover. The fuel pump is directly below unscrew the retaining round plate and remove the pump. At the base of the pump is a small filter if it is covered in black muck that's your problem. clean and replace. job takes about 10 mins good luck. please let me know how you got on!

SOURCE: Dies after running about 2 minutes

It's got all the symptoms of a leak in the fuel line. You may want to start backward at the tank and work your way all the way to the carb to find it but it would be surprising if it was something else. All the best.

SOURCE: Ford 460 loses power then dies. Starts back up. Idles fine.

It sounds like you might have a clogged catalatic converter on the exhaust system.

97 Nissan Sentra runs good for 2 miles then stall wont start back up for about an hourcould it be a bad MAF sensor

How many miles on the car?

Most in-line fuel filters are good for about 100 miles.

Then,crud buildup blocks fuel passage,causing the car to stall.

Tbe,, after fuel presure drops off,the crud falls away & the car will start/run.

Repeat same,until you get crazy.

Replace the cilter,problem goes away.

God luck.

Just about anytime it rains or damp out my 1996 Sentra will run fine for about a mile or two then if I stop at idle it will start running real bad, die out and not start for between 45 minutes to an hour...

This is a classic symptom of bad spark plug wires or a bad distributor cap. Changing the cap, rotor, & wires is generally the first step. Moisture can also cause problems with the ignition coil & sometimes fuel control (computer sensors) systems
