while driving today. weird...
2 blocks from the house, it was acting funny in 1st and 2nd gear, like a jerking. right before i turned into my garage, it died and i can't get it started, had to push it in.
since, i've tried starting it; cranks, but doesn't turn over.
anyone have any ideas? this is the straw that has broken my camel's back. once i get this fixed, it's for sale. i don't have the time/energy to play around with my baby anymore.
all reasonable offers accepted.

Both seats hold air in the power lumbar.
Tranny leaks a few drops here and there, but shifts smoothy and no grinds.

I'm trying to be as detailed as possible so I don't waste anyone's time.
I am the 3rd owner. I bought the car about 6-7 years ago with 53k miles and warranty.
All smog eq. is still there
Heater works great, no leaks. A/C blows cold.
Oh yeah...I'm having "issues" with the alarm.

thanks

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge to confirm what your fuel pressure is?
