It turns over fine, so it's not the battery, it's almost like it's not getting gas. Yet if I start laying in on the gas pedal while trying to crank it, it'll crank as long as I keep feeding it gas. As soon as I let off the gas pedal, the cars dies. It doesn't sputter or anything, it just stop running instantly.

Dealer replaced the fuel pump and the car runs and starts fine now. 1999 Silver Frost Contour SVT 2690 of 2760 Born 08/13/1999 Sony Mobile ES CDX-C90 Deck 6 1/2 Infinity Kappa Perfect mid & tweet set, 2 12 Infinity Kappa Perfects JBL P.600.1 for Bass, P.180.2 for front stage.

Sometimes if you just wiggle it the car will start right up. Don't know if you can do a search on the new forums and find anything but it's worth a try. '03 Saab 9-5 Aero

Part is on the way, thanks for the input. 1998 Contour SVT Toreador Red/Midnight Blue 3090/6535 1999 Contour SVT Black/Prairie Tan 18/2760 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T TT Metallic Beige/Tan 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSi Red/Black Leather
