I was driving down 575 and i noticed my rpm's were going up and down (and my gas was low(not empty). Then it just cut off. i tried to start it back up but it wouldn't. about 30 minutes later i started it up and it ran then cut off and 5 minutes later it ran then cut off. 45 minutes after that then the car starts up and runs i take it to the next exit and fill up and then i tried to get back on the interstate and it just stopped again.

i wonder if its a fuel delivery(injection, filter, pump) issue or something else. cause it will start one day and the next it wont. Please help me if you have some insight.

I personally think it's a fuel delivery(injection, filter, pump) issue or something else. Later, QD.

1st-check for spark when having trouble cranking

2nd-rent a fuel pressure gauge and test the fuel pressure at the fitting, which will tell you if its before the fuel filter or after the filter...

3rd-check back in.

Not saying they are wrong^ it has happend to me and it wasnt the injector, filter, pump or spark plugs.... i had a bad ground that had a small nick in it and it would cause my car to bog or shut off because it was grounding everything out.... just figured i let you know so you could check that too!

also a possiblity. could be a million things, really...hell, could be a bad connection on a wire at the ecu for all anyone knows. start with the easy stuff first
