Failure Date: 10/23/2019

Car runs fine then without warning it will just die. Does this while driving in motion. It is car used by two new teen drivers. It is very unsafe because they don't have a lot of driving time. I looked at a lot of wiring connections, cleaned up all ground connections with wire brush, replaced temp sensor, crank position sensor, been going thru and fixing bad wiring connections. Replaced fuel pump. And fixed broken wires coming out of body that go to fuel gauge.
