Need Help again!!
Well I replaced the DME relay and the car still dies while driving it. Some times it will start right back up other times it wont for two to three mins. This problem is really starting to **** a guy off. Any suggestions??

First suggestion... use the normal size font... I'm not blind, I can easily read it.
Second suggestion: Check for vacuum leaks. the J-boot comes to mind. Beeg recently had a similar issue, his J-boot popped off... he fixed that, and it was working well again... good luck!

when it wont start right up, what does it do? does it crank? is fuel pump running? or does it act normal and just take time? might be the DME itself having issues

Hi Marty--have you checked the speed & reference sensors?

The car cranks and I think the pump is running. It might take 6 or 7 times cranking it over to get it to start again then if your lucky when you put it in gear it might not die.

Marty, take a minute to read the link to Clark's Garage. Clark included the location of the sensors as well as a picture. Back of engine on top of clutch housing.

I have never run the car out of gas myself. I did a fuel pressure test on it. It can out at 40 PSI. AfterI changed the fuel filter, not sure what it had before I changed it. I just changed it for preventive maintence.
