    Hey Guys,

    I've been having an issue for about the last year or so. Sometimes, completely at random, when I go to start my car, It will Turn over, but then instantly die. It usually happens on the second start after a cold start, eg. I stop to get a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Other then this one issue, and an ABS issue i'm dealing with, i've had absolutely no real issues with this car. If anyone has had a similar experience, or knows what may be causing it, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Guys!

    08, and no I havn't. I've neglected my poor car and it's still been very faithful to me. I'm going to do a huge tune-up this weekend since it's supposed to be a warm one.

    Also, you just helped me five minutes ago with the floor jack thing. I find that awesome.

    **New Update**

    Today I started the car, it ran fine for about one minute. Then Stalled. I have not been able to start it up since. I figure that this issue and the one I was having before are probably related, I just don't know what it could be. The starting issue was so random until lately, then it became quite frequent. And now the car will not start at all. I can hear the starter going, and The battery is brand new, so I doubt it's related to either of those things.
