I thought about the fuel pump. but 2 things tell me it's not that. 1. The fuel pump sounds normal when I switch to the on position, and also when the car is running. 2. When the car dies, if it was fuel pimp related, the car would probably skip, or sputter as the fuel supply runs out and it does not sputter, it just dies. Dead. No warning. The tach goes immediately to 0.I know it isn't a pulley b/c I just replaced the harmonic balancer a few days ago and I checked them all while the belt was off.And yes, when it runs, well it hasn't run this well since the car was new. I can't remember when it ran so smoothly. When it decides to run, that is.I'm picking up a new distrubutor first thing tomorrow. If that isn't it, It can't hurt to have a new distributor. The car has 144,000 on the clock and I don't remember ever having it replaced. I just hope that this is the problem. I'm going to clean the MAF, but I'm going to see if the distributor licks the problem first. If I do them at the same time, I'll never know which one was the problem/solution - if either of them even turn out to be.</blockquote>
