Car died on me on the way to work. I was sitting in the turning lane on Arlington Heights to turn onto 83 listening to the new Metallica. The car then just dies. I didnt want to get out and pop the hood cause all I saw in my head was someone slamming into my car. So I figured it would be safer to stay in it and call for a tow/cops.
The cops came and finally pushed me off the road. Called a tow truck place we use at work and had them bring me and my car here. $95 and an hour and a half work late to work I am finally here.
Alright, so my first assumtion is the fuel pump resistor. The car will crank and wants to turn over, it just doesnt pull through though. Twice I got the car chugging at a whole 200 RPMs then it died off again even with me on the throttle. The car was not running funny at all until this happened.
Anyone concur with me?? Any other suggestions?
