I sent a video as well. Sometimes it'll shut off and I have to keep it cranked over for it to start again. It'll take a lttle bit but it will fire up again. I mainly see the problem going slow or when apply gas or letting off gas. There is a video I am trying to up load to you.

Hey SUNSHINE86,

Does the check engine light illuminate when the fault occurs?

The first step will be to check for codes and see what you have stored.

There is a guide in the link below:

Let us know what you have and it will narrow down the diagnosis process.

Regards, Joe

Hey SUNSHINE86,

It sounds like you have a fuel pressure issue.

You will need to attach a fuel pressure gauge.

The fuel pressure on these vehicles should maintain a steady 49.2 PSI +/- 5PSI.
