Spark? what do you mean? i was preping to take to a mechanic. but i would like to have a general idea of whats going on. it feels as if it is running out of gas when it cuts off. i thought it was the fuel pump but when i dropped the tank to check the pump, i found that it ran and then cut off. i unplugged the pump and checked it with straight power. it ran and pumped fine. | |

In just about any fuel injected vehicle the fuel pump will kick on and off at times.

it will start, run, and then cut off after a min or two. then it will not crank again unless you leave it for maybe 30 min or more. | |

Some will start and stop running...Then thay go into theft mode...........Thinking your steeling the car.... So if your using the spare key you got at lets say,Home Depot....It dose not have the chip coded......Just something to look at.... However if it it the same key you have always used, Where on to a different problem. But that one is eliminated.
If i'm taking a stab in the dark...I'll say. IAC Valve is stucking....
Keep us posted o what you fined....
