So I replaced the fuel pump, filter, and new gas lines, and spark plugs. I started her and and she ran great. Let the car run for 20 mins. Then drove for about 5 miles. I parked the car and let it sit for a good three hours. Got in started up fine drove fine then died on me again. Please someone help me. I'm getting to the end of my rope with this ****. I just read that it could be the CPS. Is this something that sounds right?

Suck bang and blow! haha
What an engine needs to run. Air fuel and spark. Literally, the very very basics. Applies well to lawnmowers/2 stroke engines/4 stroke engines/carbureted cars but doesnt apply all that well to a fuel injected computer controlled car. Way too many other factors.

The fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs and air filter are all new. The throttle body is cleaned and the iac is 8 months old. I have been looking online for about 5 hours now and about one hundred people said that the crank position sensor fixed the problem so I'm gonna get that done soon!

What does it do when you try to start it? Crank and crank, or nothing?

Sometimes starts right up and other times crank crank crank. But if I let it sit for a little bit then it starts right up.

So, aside from the cranking issues...did it ever die/ cut iff in you?

same items you mentioned above, less the plugs. I though it was my pump so I replaced it...it didnt work, or it did just didnt fix the stalling issue and not cranking over issue. So i dropped the tank and got showered with fuel, hence telling me there is plenty of pressure and fuel pump is working. I have been researching since last week.
Im not sure if ima wait on a MOPAR CPS or go get a BWD at PepBoys, but in either case that is next on the list.
