My grandmother's car has been giving her problems. She starts it then gets somewhere and then turns it off. Goes to start the car again to leave , then it won't start. Calls the tow truck and by the time it get to her, it starts again. I told her it was probably I fuel pump, so she had it replaced with all the filters too. It did not fix the problem, it still is not running right. Please help.

Is your check engine light on? If yes turn the key from off to on three times, on the fourth one leave it in the on position, count the flasshes...22 would flash as 2 blinks, then a short puase, then 2 more blinks...if several codes are stored, the pause is longer between codes, code 55 will be the last code...do this and post all codes found...

The only code that has come up is 55. I did it four times and the same result everytime. It blinked 5, there was a pause, and then 5 more. What is 55 for a code ? You stated that it would be last, but it was the only one. Thanks.

55 just notes the last code. Try removing the ignition module and having it tested at the parts store.
