Thanks for the replies everyone!

I will try to check out the fuel pump relay.

I will try to explain further the problem. First off, the car is an automatic.

This has only happened 5 times and it seems to be around a week in between occurances. I will be driving either highway or non highway and all of a sudden i notice that the car is no longer responding to the gas pedal. The car does not stumble or run rough and when I look at the guages, the car is still running. Gas guage ok, oil pressure ok, temp ok, vaccum responds to depressing the pedal as normal, RPM guage looks normal.

The car stays this way while i am coasting for around 10 seconds or so, then the engine quits. And the idiot lights come on and guages go to off position. On one occasion i was pumping the gas pedal and then i gained my power back again, but this only happened once.

I havent noticed a change in pitch of the fuel pump.

Thanks again folks.

Best Regards,
Josh
