Check your fuel pressure at the rail. Your pump could still be running but be weak.

how do i check the pressure at the rail? and so everyone knows i went out there this morning and the car started right up, im affraid to drive it and get stuck again :(. any other ideas besides cps or fuel rail pressure that may have caused this headache?
 
It does sound like a fuel pump if it starts every now and again. There is a schrader valve on the front of the rail that you hook a pressure gauge to and it'll tell you the pressure.
 


Does it fire up and stall each time you turn the key off, then back to on/start? Or does it not try to start at all?

First thought would be
Fuel pump resistor

when it stalled it just stalled and then wouldnt start again. the next morning when i woke up it started right up and i drove it all day and it had no issues, no sputtering no stalling. i am completely lost as to what the issue may be. i mean as long as it doesnt happen again then im not gonna worry too much about it. i did however buy a crank position sensor that i am going to put on some time this week just to be safe.:th_scratchhead:
 
That happened to a car i was working on for a while and it ended up being the fuel pump. It would run fine for a day or so then not start. Then it would start up a day or so later.
 
hmmm maybe ill take her back to the dealership and tell them what happend and say that i want the pump replaced completely or something.
