Electrical problem
1997 Dodge Avenger Automatic 172000 miles

hello this is mrs campbell again, well I wrote you about the gasoline smell and car dieing, well I think I know what the problem is but dont know what it is, here is what it is doing: ok while the car is going down the street it will die. So I turn it off. Then after about 1-2 minutes I will hear a small click back behind the panale where all your trouble lights and speedomtor is then it will start back up! This happens each time and the longer I wait after hearing the click the farther I can go befor it dies again, so what is this click? Is it electrical? Is it the fule fuse? My daddy lloked for a place for the fule fuse but cound not find it, it that is it where is it under the hood, help me I need reply right away!

Open hood look on firewall just to right of brake cylinder. See four relays the second one from left is Automatic Shut Down Relay maybe what you hear if rely drops out car will stop and won't restart till it closes. Replace and see if problem is solved.
