After driving to store and parking, car would not restart. Thought we were out of gas so put more in. After about an hour it started up, no hesitation. Drove a couple days later, same thing again. This time after it started drove about 3 blocks got up to 35mpg and it just died. Wouldn't restart so had to tow. It has a full tank and new battery. Setting at house for about a week, it tries to start but won't.

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
