Engine dies, but will restart--need help?

The engine dies completely, but will restart immediately and run for
a few miles then dies. Makes no differents at what speed or at a
stop light. I changed the DME relay which made no differents.
I've been told it could be the DME control unit---
could some one whos had a similar experience let me know what
they did to correct. Thanks

ECU Unit or DME

I had the same problem with mine. It would just die on me and then I would have to tap on the ECU Unit(DME) in order to get it started.. Sounds to me like its your computer. I bought one for $100.00 used from Part Werks

It could be a number of other things as well, start by replacing your fuel filters, because it's cheap, and you should do it anyways

Ya, deffinetly replace fuel filters. Like Cbass said its cheap and easy and probably needs to be done. Another thing you could do is hook up a air/fuel ratio guage. And moniter your air fuel ratio. If its low you probably have a clogged filter or possibly a dieing fuel pump.

But it could be the computer unit. Try the cheap and then spend the $$ to fix it

Good luck
