Ride has over 290K and has been babied all the way. She has had everything put on new as they blow out or before. In the last 75K I replaced the new fuel pump, new crank shaft sensor, and new mass air flow sensor. The check engine light has been going on and off for a year with no actual problems. I recently had a short shaft installed, the check engine light must have been reset. I went to work one day and she just died on me. It started right back up and I went home and it never would restart. After sitting for a few days, I read online that one remedy may be to put the pedal to the floor. She started with lots of white smoke and running very rich. I've been told that it could be the computer, MAP sensor, fuel pump resistor, etc.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion for a rookie.
