I had my 96 rl out earlier today driving around just fine I was watching my gas gauge read around half a tank of gas as i was coming to a stop it shut off... restarted no problem, idle find before it shut off did it to me three more times on the way home had only gone 170 miles on the odo. i know my gauge is off a little but there is no way its off a half a tank.. so i went to the station and figured i would top it off.. it only took 10.2xx gallons of fuel meaning there was still around 5 gallons in there why is the car shutting off? what is the issue here? I dont wanna give up on this car but it seems to be one issue after another
it has 198,xxx on it

 

If it still has gas left then it is not relating to the gas tank, or maybe a clog fuel filter. Is your idle rough? You might want to check the little tube( one end is connected to nothing) on the passenger side near the ignition coil. You will be surprise if this little tube crack or loosely connect the car will have rough idle and it will not start. Other possibilities are the main relay and get a tune up lol. Remove the ignition coil and check the spark plug have oil, thats just my though. Other then that, the car is very solid Good luck.

 

Did you ever figure out the issue? My car recently started doing this. Im about to throw in the towel and sell this car.

 

Fuel filter? Bad fuel pump?

 

check your main relay

 

no i did not figure it out still having the same issue car is going to the crusher tomm..

 

Jimmay, where/how did you run the power cable for the aftermaket amp. I couldn't figure where to run the cable, help!

 

If the car hasn't gone to the crusher yet. Can I buy your sunglass holder off of you?
