HELP : my SC300 start fine but dies after 10mins
I have a 1992 Sc300, today driving to work, my car acted funny it dies, it won't start again, so I thought it was no gas (since I didn't have much of gas anyways),
walked to gas station, got 1 gallon of gas and came back to my car, put it in, started right up perfect and idel fine.
after 5 mins, it dies on me again, no check engine light on,
waited around 20 mins, it starts but dies after 1 min or so...
what could be my problem with my baby???? fuel pump??? ECU??? fuel pump computer???
oh, by the way, used fuel pump and fuel pump controller was replaced around a year agon... did not drive this car for 8 months or so...
tried to pull check engine light code, no success, the engine light and o/d light blink every 0.5 sec forever....
Thank you in advance,
Doug

It's going to be a bad battery or a bad FP ecu. When your battery is dieing, it will cause the car to die randomly, and the FP ecu will cause the car to die after warming up for about 10 minutes, search "12v mod", do it and see if it works before buying a new battery.

yes, pretty much... every time he hit on the plastic part, it worked fine... that's how he figured it out... and then, he replaced with the one that I have laying around... funny... oh, make sure you disconnect battery b4 replacing maf, which I didn't do... I think that made a difference... and look for a vaccumm lose...
