car died and wouldnt start this has happened about 2 or 3 times since i have owned the car and last night happened while i was pulling out of walgreens into a busy street... started letting the clutch out and car jerked and shut of.. hmm ok... thought maybe it killed it cuz my clutch is going... but danm thing wouldnt start.. cranked it cranked it cranked it nothing... pushed it out of street and kept trying.... started giving it a little gas next few time i was cranking it and it was trying to turnover but wouldnt.... finally i started getting pissed and cranked and just put the gas to the floor and it fired up... reved it up for aabout 30 sec cuz it wanted to die, started driving and drove fine.. last 2 times this happened first time... was showing the car to someone, they asked me to rev it, so i reved it up a little and it just shut off after the rev.. i later had to push start it with another car.... then second time was about a month ago my dad fired it up to move it up 2 parking spaces cuz of the snow and as soon as he moved like 2 feet, it died, and had to start it by pumping the gas while cranking... anyone have any idea what this might be?

What's weird is that when you put the gas pedal to the floor and it started, this is usually clear flood mode which shuts of the injectors. I would check your fuel filter though and fuel pressure, but putting it to the floor which initiates clear flood would mean your shutting off fuel to start it. Not sure. Possible ignition issue?
