Check ebay for one. Look on Mitsubishi's OEM parts online. Sounds like your fuel pump is bad or your MPI relay.

If the fuel pump is the problem, replacing it would be a good solution. You can find fuel pumps if you go under the "vendors" tab on this site, look through their sites, I'm sure you'll find one.

Don't buy OEM, an OEM fuel pump, from the factory, is close to $400, when you could buy a much better aftermarket one for $100.

for now im going to go with a used oem one just to throw at it and make sure if it isnt it i blew 100 on something i didnt need... thank you all for your opinion... oh and one more question... which manual has the best info... chiltons or haynes??? thanks again...

I have a Chilton, it's great, though I've never seen a Haynes so I can't really compare.

I also use a Chilton's when I have a brain fart.

The crank sensor in my 95 was causing the same problem. After the car warmed up for about 5 minutes it would sputter and die... Check the codes it will give you a better clue to the problem...
