Well i got a problem!

[ban1]

Last sunday i am out driven and i get the big idea lets go to New Orleans. Well for anyone whos driven in NewOrleans knowsd the srteets are shit. Big ass pot holes all in roads. After driving these roads i notice my car started droping rpms.( about 500 at a time) Well i get off on an off ramp think i have bought bad gas and the car dies.(This is the part were my blood presure rises and i lose it) So after 10 mins it fires up runs fine for another 20 miles then it repeats the same thing only it did not die to were i couldnt restart it. So i later on after geting home i go out to start it and nothing wont start. So i think its like my last one and not getting fuel. I go out and buy the new fuel pump and still nothing. I run a test light on the fuses just to see. Well it turns out that the fuse running power to my fuel pump is not getting power. Then i run a wire from one hot fuse to the dead fuse slot. The fuel pump gets power its a miracale. But now there is no fire from the spark plugs fuck me what an ass hole. I test the coil its getting power but why is it one minute running fine and the next broken down.

Please help.

And yes insurance fraud has ran through my head.

Bad ground? Check oil pan to chassis ground, I've heard this will cause the car to not run.

which car is it?

In your profile you have 2 listed. The 90, you should check the crank sensor at front of motor.

if 86, you need to check the pulse generators on the bell housing of the trannie (under starter).

heres an online manual to help you on your way...link

i went to vegas over the summer. Parked my car during the heat wave ran great. Came back, same shit. Got fuel pump working, replaced the pump and fuse, no spark. 34.50 crank position sensor and it fired right up. It just happens out of no where i know.

could also be the main relay... but usually what can happen is that someone who did the last t-belt job didn't secure the crank pos sensor wire down correctly and it has been chewed out by the water pump pulley.

Hey, nothing wrong with Tennessee. There are special people in every state.
