Have the OBD read for fault codes

Testimonial: "Thank you for the suggestion Steve, as of right now there are no codes to read, I checked with my reader and then as had Advance Auto check for codes the other day when it was running. I have changed the idle sensor, cleaned the mass airflow sensor that I replaced in May, I used Carb cleaner on the throttle body, charged the battery and made sure it was working properly. I also changed the fuel filter. But I definitely appreciate all input on this issue, thank you!"

SOURCE: 1999 Regal GS Super charged, Starts,runs 3-5 sec and dies

i gaurantee that it is the fuel pump ressistor up on the passenger side front behind head lamp assembly you will find the connector with two wires going to it. no need to remove old one install new one and connect wires to new one leave old in. dealer only part but not expensive. dont belive dealer when they try to talk you out of it. This is a kit to relocate a ressistor that has been installed in a poor location. I promise this will fix it. My wifes car did the same thing, took 20 minutes to fix and that is only because i am an electrician and am finicky about where to locate wires etc. the kit comes with installation instructions however they are a little vague. trust me. easy fix. my dealer tried to get me to leave car for repair and said it sounds like the theft detterent system. they were wrong and i was right. dont trust em

SOURCE: Won't do anything when trying to start. Jump start and fires up on the spot, but dies when gas pedal not depressed.

Check the ignition coil packs. It sounds like a spark problem.

2003 Mercury Sable LS Car Died.. while driving Now Won't start.

There are lots of reasons for the car dying, first and foremost is the gas gage is wrong and you ran out of gas, second is electronic engine control issues, have the engine control computer scanned for fault codes. Lastly is a failure of the engine itself.

Changed alternator, belt and battery on 01 sable ls after driving for a short time air bag light and gas light come on and car dies....help?

First thing is to see if the battery needs charging. If it has a full or near full charge, then maybe a loose or corroded battery cable connection is making the car seem dead..
You have to get the engine cranking at a normal rate or speed, to first see if it will start. If you get it cranking and it won't start, see if your fuel pump has failed. Best way to check that is to have the fuel pressure tested. No fuel pressure from a failed fuel pump is a major cause of a 'no start' condition.

1997 mercury sable dies when put in gear

Your transmission torque converter lock up clutch is not unlocking, that kills the engine and is the cause of the OD light flashing.
