Cars been running fine 97 gt 323,000 today coming off a stop sign at normal speed no jack rabbit it just bogged then dies cranks but wont turn over, sounds strong but no start. Now the last few days I can hear the door relays going on and off when I am in park or idle not sure if there is a connection. oil, trans fluid fine everything else seems normal about a month ago the heater blower shorted out. Stuck 50 miles from home car towed to shop. any ideas ICM maybe?

Thanks
 


Ok shop has been checking the car all morning they are stumped they tried the things I suggested, and thier own ideas and nothin' they said it should start
 


Well that wasn't it drove 22miles and dropped dead waiting for tow truck middle lane of interstate 65 on a hill and people blowing horns and giving me the finger like I did this on purpose

Original owner at 290,000 I changed struts tie rods and a arms. tune it every 100,000 change oil regular whenever that thing on the DIC says. Tranny fluid change every 60,0000. New CV shafts at 300,000. ICM at 250,000 and again at 300,000. 4 sets of tires so far 4 sets of brakes. power steering hose and pump, ac compressor , dryer, evaporter at 225,000. I say not to bad now if I can just figure this mess out
 


Replaced ICM harness that goes with it checked Grounds same thing shuts off in a few miles somebody at work is saying gas filter that make any sense?
 
it could be a bad fuel pump, id get a pressure gauge with a long fitting so you can see it while driving, if it drops pressure then stalls you found the problem.

the pressure should not drop under 40 psi.
 
Brought to a different shop they have been working on it since friday it has been running fine for them LOL gotta love it
 
well other shop had it for two weeks can find no problem after two weeks they are returning it no charge said it is running fine but I am worried about taking it on a long trip
