i'm thinking fuel pump but could be a sensor. check around and ask lots of questions. get is scanned for codes. they sell an Actron scanner at amazon.com which will be worth its weight in gold if you are going to keep the car and repair it yourself......happy motoring......vandragon

Hi Sandy ! I've got the same problem.I've changed the fuel pump but,nothing changed.I took it for a diagnostic -did not find anything.Sandy I've noticed that my back exhaust box is extremily hot.And also then the engine is running for a while I meen when the car is running normally and I open the hood,the heat into the engine compartmen is very high aswell.I hardly can keep my hands on the front metal pannel.Did you noticed that on your car.Or it is not the same.Thanks.Theo
