Car shut off at stop would not stay started. Fuel pump or injector?

Hi Teresa,

This sounds more like a pump then injectors. However, we will need to do some testing. Here is a guide that walks through the most common cause of these issues because a pump or injectors are not the only possible cause:

First, let's put a fuel pressure gauge on the engine and see what the pressure is. It should around 35-40 PSI.

Next we need to find out if there are any codes. I am going to guess there are not but we need to confirm that because if we have a code, this will really cut down on our search.

Let me know these two things and we can go from there. Thanks
