I have a 97 piece of junk Bravada that continues to give me the same problem after 2 years owning it.

It shuts off after it runs for about 30 minutes and won't restart for 5minutes to several hours later--whenever it feels like. 3 months on, 3 month off type of crap. Yesterday, a cop kindly pushed the pile of junk out of an intersection for me. Last month I almost got T-boned after stalling into a left turn.

I was scammed last summer out of $800 by Midas and they replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. 6 months later, same problem. Midas only guarantees their work for 3 months.

I've also replaced the solenoid switch above the spare tire, all spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, wires, ect.

When the vehicle stalls, you can hear the fuel pump engage at times. And in other cases it will not engage with the ignition on.

Pressure is good, and spark is too. I can fire it up with the help of some gas down the throttle body, but it only burns that out and dies.

The engine turns, and cranks without starting up when this happens.

And oh yeah, I also get an occasional p0446 check engine light code. The repair manual refers to the evap canister for this code, which is why I changed the vent solenoid switch and gas cap and still have the same problem with stalling. The light has not came back on, but the stalling persists intermittently.

I read that an ignition switch can also be the cause, but no one defines if it's the wiring kit under the column or the key-in tumbler that needs replaced.

Any help would be great before I find the nearest cliff within 30 minutes and drive it over the edge?

Thanks
