Need Help!

I Just Bought My First Car, Sad Really Cause Im 36, Anyway, It Dies Going Down The Road, You Can Sit A Minute After It Dies And It Will Start Back Up! Go A Few Feet And Die Again, A 20 Min Drive To Work Takes About An Hour, I Took To Shop And Put It On The Computerized Diagnostic, And Nothing Shows To Be Wrong, So No One Knows How To Fix It, It Sputters Out Sometimes And Sometimes Just Automatically Stops, Kinda Like It Stopped Getting Gas Or Something. Any Suggestions Anyone!

TWO things you should check. First is fuel pressure. Second is spark. I assume yours is CPI injection (my 93 S-10 Blazer is), so it is a high pressure system needing 56+lbs to start and 60+ to stay running. If is low perhaps a new filter is in order or a pump. On MINE I just replaced ignition module, as mine did the same, and got WORSE. Would not restart for long periods of time. Check for spark. Best two places to start. You will get plenty of advise from others in this forum. A lot of knowledgable folks in this one. Good luck.

Check your ignition coil, your alternator and your fuel pressure.

Also, ever done a tuneup?
