I have a 1999 Mercury Sable Single overhead cam 3.0 engine car.
This has been happening for a few days, I started the car let it warm up, put it in reverse and it dies. Then put it back in parking and try to restart the car. But it wont start. It tries, it turns over but its like theres no fuel going through. Battery is good, alternator is good, just had that rebuilt a few months ago, and the fuel pump hums when i turn to key to the on position. I am going to check the fuel filter in the morning. After 1 whole day of not using the car, I tried to start it up, and what do ya know it started up with no problems, but then later this afternoon it started doing the same thing again dying then not wanting to start up. What am i missing or doing wrong. could it be a sensor relay? Ive looked up quite a bit of info but im just a lil lost. Im also gonna see if i can get it to O'reillys in the morning to get a diagnostic check on it. Any help or suggestions would be totally awesome
