You guys want to hear something extremely not funny. MY car just stalled and died! I try to crank it and it started but then it died. I cranked it again and wanted to stall so I stepped on the gas rpms started to climb but then would stumble and wanted to die again I stepped on the gas again and saved it from stalling but the third time it died! I turn it off the turn it back on but i couldnt hear the pump start "its a new 340" I think. More like I hope its the fuel pump relay right next to my alternator thats gone bad what do you guys think?
Car dies again. My car is Jinxed!

check the pump fuse first. Had a fuse blow on a three lane street! I was in the middle lane 
If it started back up and acted like it didn't want to idle, you should check your Maf. If you turn the car off and right back on, the fuel pump doesn't always prime. My car does the same thing if I do that.
Now that I think about it, if the fuse blows, there shouldn't be much pressure left in the rail after it cuts off. That is why mine wouldn't start again.

It will not run at all with the fuse blown. Did the ECM throw a code?
Thats the way my car runs when the MAF is disconnected. You can try a new relay but like I said if the pump is not on the car gets zero fuel

OK here it is i turned the key on and listened to to the car but i couldnt hear the fuel pump turning on. So I checked every fuse in the car. Then i test the line to see if there was any current. Everything checked out. So i decided to unplug my hotwire and plug ii back how it was before the hotwire. Turned the key and Viola it started like if it has never missed a beat. I turned it back off replug the hotwire kit "in the back of the car", Then turned the key. Nada. So I beleive that there is a short in my new hotwire kit i installed about 4 weeks ago. How about them apple's
Does anybody know why my int's would be at 128-140 at idle and blm's at 99- 110 at the same time?

hot wire
Check the hot wire to see if it rubbed thru. I had mine installed, and the guy looped it over the frame by the back wheel. From were he started the loop to the finish, was almost six feet . The wire fell on the back wheel and thru them hit the frame and shorted out. Just follow the the hot wire from front to back, make sure not grounding out.
