So here my problem. I have a 05 v. was driving about 40 mph and it just died. tried restarting and all it would do is crank and every once in a while sputter like it wanted to try. My fuel pump is upgraded already and I can here it when I turn the key on. if I shoot it with starting fluid it will start for just a second, so it has fire. any ideas on where to look when I tear into this thing. or has anyone had the same thing happen.

Mine did something similar and it was the throttle positioning sensor for me. Hope you find out what it is!

Sounds like your crank sensor went bad

+1 on crank sensor

Bad crank will usually start on a cold motor and die when it gets to operating tempature. Check make sure you have gas our gauges are notorious for being off.

Have fuel, just put gas in that day... Changed crank sensor and still no start. I was told it would still start without re learning it.

Unhook your battery for a few minutes and hook it up again. Try it again

I know you said you hear the fuel pump running but have you checked pressure at the rail ???

Battery was in hooked the whole time I changed the sensor. I haven't checked it at the rail yet. That was my next move tomorrow and rent a scan tool from the auto parts store. I can't see it being the fuel filter as there was no warning signs leading up to it just dieing

I had a car once that would start sputtering once in a while.

Then one day luckily at the end of the driveway, it just died.

Fuel pump took a crap.

Not saying that's what it is, but it can be a possibility. Who knows?

Any CEL? Check your fuses for a random blow-out?

So after pulling the fuel line up front and nothing coming out I then pulled the line at the pump.(I have the hole cut above the pump under the back seat for easy access) and nothing but the pump runs. So I pulled the pump out and there lied then problem. Some how the line running from the pick up and pump came off. Re attracted it. Put a couple new squeeze clamps on,re installed and were back to tearing up the road.

Thanks everyone that replied and gave advice or suddgestions.
