    Car dies

    Went out tonight to start the car. Started up and died bout 10 secs later. just like I shut it off. Tried again and same thing now it just cranks and cranks, sputters a little. Tried to "prime it" by cycling the fuel pump a few times but didn't seem to make a difference. Sound like a fuel filter maybe? I didn't really mess with it, had stuff to do.

    Oh, car drove home Sunday night without a hiccup and started several times with no issues.

    sounds liike it's fuel related... Could be bad filter, pump, frozen water in the line....

      Does it have spark? Does starting fluid in the throttle body make it run for a few seconds?
