    I've recently got a new battery, alternator, serpentine belt, air intake boot, and fuel pump put in my car by firestone. Now every since the maintenance, if I hit a bump in the road hard (particularly in the front of the car) the engine seems to attempt to quit if my foot isn't all the way on the gas and dash lights come on as well. And if the car dies out it seems not to want to crank as if its not getting fuel. HELP PLEASE!!

    Yeah, I think it has something to do with fuel supply. If the car completely dies out it will attempt to turn over without success. It will try, but while doing so it sounds as if its not getting any fuel. The alternator is new so I'm pretty sure it isn't that. Along with the battery and serpentine belts. The fuel pump is new also, unless they didn't put it in securely or something.
