car dies off...

[viali8]

Just received a call from my brother. He has an 89 iS. He is stuck down in marlyland park near Univ. of Maryland. Car will only travel for about 100 yards then die. He said if he waits it will start and idle but when he starts to drive it will die out shortly.

He also said the radio will still play music with the key out of the ignition

any help is appreciated.

My guess is that there is a short somewhere in the ignition switch that cuts the power to the fuel pump.
