ok, im on break for lunch and im sittin in Mcdonalds parkin lot and my car just shuts off. wont start, and all i can smell is fuel. i flip out , push it into a spot and leave it. i go back 10 min later and check to see if i got spark , because the only thing i had changed was a coil pack. well i had spark comin out of it. i put the wires back on and it fired right up. any suggestions on what the prob is? im gunna change coil packs and see if it quits doing it, i just wanan see if anyomne had the same prob before. thanks guys.
 
hey,
ive been having the same problem, but i figured out what it is
look at your coil packs, go directly to the left of them, there is a plug about 4 inches long, pull it off and then push it back on tightly, it is the power transistor plug, it can vibrate loose. my car did the same exact thing anf i had the same exact symptoms as you did.
