Welcome to AF. This broad a question requires some basic diagnostics, do you have good fuel pressure on the no start, sufficient spark?

Re: 94 park ave dying

I have a similar problem. Mine started dying when I brake. I had the fuel injectors cleaned, thinking it may be clogged. It did seem to run smoother, but it died again yesterday. Today, the service engine soon light has come on twice but the car didn't die. Any ideas?

Re: 94 park ave dying

Time for a new fuel-pump and fuel-lines fellas.... First, go to the parts store and get a replacement fuel-filter first... see if that frees up the line... if not, you've got a major problem between the fuel tank and the injectors.

Before you start the car, turn the ignition ON and listen to the back-seat. It should hum a little (the fuel pump is directly under it). If you hear NO, LOW, or the hum STARTS then STOPS... it's time for a new pump.

Look under the car and see if you can smell fuel anywhere as well.

Good luck.

Dan

Get a fuel pressure gauge after you replace the fuel filter. A good pump ought to run around 40PSI.

Another possibility would be a faulty coil/icm.

Get those diagnostic codes in the mean time!
