Default Re: 2004 dies while driving, wont start

Third time: it died about 1 mile from home while driving. I could not get it to start again and got it towed home. When I turn on accessory after this happens, the radiator fan kicks on and runs, if that means anything.
Basically, do what Ronman said. But I do have a thing or two to add.....

First time: Could be low fuel pressure, bad RCM (fuel pump relay) crappy TB or MAF, bad crank sensor, etc.
Second time: Sounds like, as Ron said, a funky SKREEM or poor power feed to the SKREEM causing it to lock up. Suspects: Battery, battery terminals, ground strap from block to chassis, battery ground cable, etc. I'd do James' grounding mod TODAY. (See link below)
Third time: RCM failure as Ronman said. Easy fix. Get it done today.


Do James' fix, not mine, in the thread here. Do it today, I've done it to my last two Roadsters:
