My son has been driving it for 2 months but driving along today it went to sputtering and died. he couldn't restart it for several minutes, and then it died immediately, and there is back-firing. he left it for an hour, went back, and it started right up and idled for 30-40 seconds and died again. Do you think it could have jumped time?? When I first got it 3 years ago it got a new fuel module & battery. He says its parked next to an industrial building and he cant hear if fuel pump is running when he turns on the key. Any ideas, thoughts??
I would check if it jumped time.
