I got my dads 94 formula about six months ago and it had been setting for a year berfor I got it. When I went to pick it up it ran fine for a week then the cluch and water pump went out. It was in a repair shop for four months then I got it out. I drove it for about two weeks then the engine died on me as I was driving to dallas. I had already chaged the oil, cleaned the air filter, intake and changed most of the fluids in it. When I took it to get the inspection, the only problems with it was the brights. When it died I was on an overpass and shifted in to 5th. I stepped on the gas and the engine just lost power so I whent to fourth and it lost even more power when I stepped on the gas for a second time and stopped running. Then it wouldn't star again. I don't know what the problem is!

Hey Man you might want to check your spark and o2 sensors also make sure your ditributor is kosher as the water pump does drip on it via the weep hole if the water pump is bad...also a quick check of your fuel pump is to turn the car to the on position and make sure you hear a very distinctive noise
