I start my car and it will run for 1-2 min then dies Then I start it again and it runs fine. I was wondering if it could be the fuel pump or computer problems? 1997 Ford Contour GL True Zenon Lights Pioneer XFM Deck and Reciver 1.5" Lowered with lots of mods to come & 1982 Monte with a LT1 Go Fast or be last.
