Default Dodge Tech Please

Hi I know this is hte wrong forum but this is the one I frequent the most. I have a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker 3.3 v6. The car has 34k miles on it never had a problem. Yesterday the car was running fine, parked came out car starts then immediatley dies. It will do this over and over. Bad fuel pump? sensor of some kind? Thanks in advance for any info.

Some of the older Chrysler vehicle have a ballast resistor installed. When this resistor fails, you get the symptoms posted: engine starts but turns off when you let the key go to on.

The only one I remember was on the firewall behind the engine and looked like .5x3" electrical connector. As best I can remember. You can wire it to bypass the resistor and the engine will stay running until you replace it.

Thanks for the info. I have read there were issues with the anti theft systems on these cars?
