Default Stalling and starting issue

Hello everyone this is my first time posting so work with me if I'm doing it wrong and thank you for your time and support. So I have a 04 crossfire coupe na. My car sat for the winter I put it back on the road I drove it for few weeks then all of a sudden it started stalling some times after a bump . Then it started stalling when driving. I pull over start it and drive off again. After awhile it stopped restarting right away . It would do nothing no cranking no clicking nothing when engaging the key. I'd wait a bit then it would start again . It seems like its been getting worse. I changed fuel filter fuel pump. Cause of something I read but no help. If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated

The starter would not engage so you changed the fuel pump? WHY?

If the starter won't engage, the next time it does that, do this:
Turn key to START and observe the starter does not engage.
Relase key to ON.
Wait 30 seconds.
Is the engine fan turning fast? If so, put in your spare RCM, send your bad one to DJ for him to rework.*
If you don't have a spare RCM, order one today. I do not drive my car without a spare RCM - they fail OFTEN, they plug in without tools, and they cost less than two new tires.

*If the engine fan did not turn fast, we have more investigating to do here. But we can deal with that once we hear back from you.

3 issues that come up a lot crankshaft sensor, RCM module bad grounding point. The parts are around $220. As a preventative measure I added a additional negative ground cable from the battery to a bolt on the transmission, replaced crankshaft sensor and RCM all of which is relatively easy. Even with a new fuel pump/filter the relay in the RCM provides power to the fuel pump. Here's a helpful link : Welcome to the Crossfire World. if you don't have this info here's a great link scroll down the page for all the Crossfire topics https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/tsbs-how-articles/49558-index-crossfire-problems-repairs.html

You may also have a failing battery. How old is it and was it on maintenance charging while setting all winter?

Hi George,
If you are going to replace the RCM, here's a post on how I did mine.
This may be helpful if you have never done it before or are not familiar with it's location. LINK to RCM replacement
NOTE: you don't have to disconnect the battery to do it. That's just something that I chose to do.
As pizzaguy said you should always have a spare. I sent my original to tighed1 to be rebuilt, while I used my spare until the original was done.
