I have 3.1 auto, when I start the car every thing on the instrument cluster goes dead and the engine dies. The car will re-start but will continue with the same symtom 3-5 times. It will eventually stay running and once it runs for a while it will re-start. The fuel pump/filter have been replaced but no fix. Any Ideas...

Sparkplugs might be bad since it has to be warm to keep an idle. Does it run rough when its finnaly going?

Runs smooth. It just quits quick almost like turning the ignition off. I has stalled when its warm just not that often.

bsmart82 Check under hood and find two electrical wire groups on the engine.. they are ground wires.. when cold they are slightly loose as everything warms up they tighten up. You'll see them they are about 4 to six wires together on one stud. hope this helps. Later. Mark.
