aightmy car will start fine and everything, but once i start driving it will die. i can go like 2 blocks, and the engine will just shut off. all the electrical stuff still works, but the power steering doesnt. when it dies, i just pull over and wait a bit, whn i try to start it right away, i can hear the starter, but it wont start, so i leave it shut off for a little, then it will start. whats goin on?! :help:

Might be the fuel pump.

Try changing the filters first. It could also be the relay or wiring to the pump. I bet it is the pump.

Thats what mine did. It was the fuel pump for me. it would start but only go about half a block before it died. If i left it for a while, it would start. but then die again. Real easy to change. Someone wanted to charge me $90. i did it myself and couldnt believe i couldve gotten ripped off like that.
