i know that we seem to have isolated the problem to a faulty uel pump...but i just thought i might ad this...it sounds stupid but it happened to me be careful that your knee is not tugging on other stuff that is attached to your key ring. my car woud sometimes shut off while "driving aggressively" around corners. come to find out, i was bracing my body against the steering column by using my knees. consequently, my right knee would grab my keyless entry remote, pull it down far enough to turn the ignition to the off position. i never noticed it until my gf pointed it out to me. i guess i was concentrating so hard on the task at hand that i could not feel what was going on with my knees

Not stupid at all. I used to carry heavy keychains until I found out that all that weight dangling around there was wearing out my ignition switch on my old Explorer. The truck would suddenly die and all I had to do was wiggle the key around and it would work again. This person's problem does sound like the fuel pump problem though

Have a good one!
