93 850 GLT Shuts off randomly and wont start for a while

There is no pattern when the car shuts off but it sputters before it dies. I tried starting it after it died but it would just sputter. I cant figure it out. When its going its fine it drives great like theres nothing wrong with it. the check engine light is on. Thanks

Do you have a check engine light displayed at all? You may want to pull your codes regardless and see what it says. Sounds like it could be a bad fuel filter or faulty Cam or Crank sensor.

As far as the glove box, not sure man, good luck on that.

Re: 93 850 GLT Shuts off randomly and wont start for a while

I have the same car w/ the same issue (except no coolant in the oil and check enging light is not on). at completely random times, it will lose power, coast to a stop and then i'l have to wait a few minutes, then the car will run like nothing happened. i changed the oil, replaced my fuel, air and oil filters, and ran some injector cleaner throught the gas. my car was problem free for a week or so, and it strated happening again. any sugjestions?
