I think it is finally fixed. I replaced the CPS and then adjusted it after having the stutter problems and it seems to run find.

Default RE: One day it starts, next day it wont. HELP!!

Just when I thought all was good. It's been raining all weekend and the temperature is now dropping down into the 30's at night. I get in the car this morning and the car won't start. Same issues different day. I turn the key and it just turns over and over with no fire. I can hear the fuel pump working but that's it.

Does anyone have any more suggestions??

I'd swap out ther asd relay with the fuel relay .... you say the fuel pumps running if you swap and the pump won't run the asd is bad

Is the ASD relay located on the firewall on the drivers side? If so there are three of them on the 98 and they don't appear to be interchangeable. I thought about that in the troubleshooting in the past and found the connectionson those threeare different. If these arn't the correct relays can you tell me where they are located? Thanks

Ok, those are the ones I was thinking about. Am I supposed to break off the little tabs that allow it to only fit in the designed slot. The tabs I am talking about run vertical along side the connector tab. The fuel pump has a vertical half round tab, and the ASD has a quarter round tab. Both are located to the left of the connector tab.

I replaced mine with standard 30A Bosch style relays (We have them for Alarm installs) So FREE is a good thing ... I* think they are like $5 at the parts store

Well I am still at trying to fix this issue. It has ran just fine since my last post until New Years day. It was 40 deg, out side and very foggy and humid. Got in the car and it won't start again. I removed all three relays and cleaned them and switched the order of them. Install them back in the car and heard the fuel pump engage and still nothing. The car just turns over and never fires. Is there another sensor that may be getting wet or damp? I replaced the CPS already.
