I have a2001 mercury cougar when I drive it it dies going down a dirt road that's bumpy, and all the lights work but no spark or fuel...I have checked the alternator,starter ,battery, connections everywhere. When I have it towed back home the seat belt light comes on and it dings and then the car starts back up...

First thing I would do is get the computer (OB2) scanned. This will make it easier to help in the diagnosis. Most auto part stores will do this for free. When you get the codes, write them down and let me know what they are. There are many problems that could create this symptom and without speculating for hours let's try this out first and I'll be happy to help you out in finding the problem.

Thanks look forward to your reply
