Ok let me see if I can be more specific. When I tried to command the car to start with the ignition key, the engine under the hood cranked over and started. It immediately stopped as if I would have commanded it to with the key. Then when I tried to crank again it would spin over ( the crank in the engine was turning) and it would refuse to start. I eventually got it to run...and it seemed fine after that then when I tried to get it home after idling in the parking lot and driving around in the parking lot for quite a while I tried to make the commute home. As soon as I pulled out in the road I made it about a 1/4 mile before it stopped running. After setting for a minute it cranked (as in it was running under its on power) and I was able to get it back to my work it shut off again and I coasted into the parking lot. The next day I pulled the intake and fixed a large vacuum leak and put it all back together and the car ran fine all week end then on the way in this morning it shut off with out warning. I tried cranking the engine and it would not. It would spin over but not start. I jumped out of the car and bypassed the dme relay, still would not run and I could hear fuel rushing thru the rail. I then removed the jumpers and reinstalled the dme relay and the car cranked as in the motor sprung to life and I was able to drive the car back home.
