intermitent dying/not starting...

hi all-seems like the same gremlin is back on my 92 pathy. It runs like a champ 99% of the time, then occassionally it either 1) doesn't start but cranks strong 2) dies while I'm driving down the road or 3) acts like it will die while driving. Then it'll run okay, but it makes me nervous cuz it'll stop in the middle of the road while I'm driving sometimes.

 

I recently replaced the ignition switch (but not the key lock), fuel filter (ok not leaking), battery, battery ground cables and checked the fusible links (ok).

 

I'm thinking fuel pump relay, o2 sensor or MAF issue. Any other thoughts? What hoses do I need to check? It was running great for 2 months, after the new fuel filter, now issue has returned. I'm hoping it's something simple. Thanks to everyone, julie

Since it is so intermittent, I would go with electrical problem. Is there any rhyme or reason to it dying? Temperature, humidity, driving distance/time, etc? Seriously...

 

Check the ECU codes (write up in the How To section) first...

Wiggle the wires to the MAF (just behind the air box) next time it acts up.

Inspect the distributor cap/rotor/wires.
