First off I want to thank anyone that can offer some suggestions on this issue, and warn that I know some about cars but am far from being a mechanic so if I ask a stupid question please give me a virtual slap.
I bought a 96 contour (v6) a few weeks ago. The car has been running great since then without any problems at all. Then this morning I went got in the car and started off to work. Shortly after pulling out the car started to loose power and stalled out. I restarted the car after a little cranking and got about another three miles before it again lost power and stalled out. I pulled off to the side of the road thinking that maybe the gas guage was just not accurate and that the tank was empty. I called roadside assistance and they brought two gallons of gas and put in the car. I then had to crank the car for a while and it would not start. As the roadside assistance guy was calling to arrange for a tow for me I tried again and the car started and I was able to make it the rest of the way to work without any problems, so I had figured that maybe it had been out of gas and that I was just a moron. Well a little while ago I took my lunch and decided to run up to the gas station to grab a drink and fill the tank the rest of the way up. I got in the car and it started right up, even though the idle seemed just a little rougher than normal. I pulled out of the lot and got about three hundred feet before the car stalled out again and would not start again. I had to push the car back into the parking lot, I tried letting it sit for a few minutes but it still would not start.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what the issue could be and if there are any possibilities that I would be able to check when I am off work so that I can get home.
