I have a 2000 Intrepid. A couple of weeks ago the heat stopped working. I took the heating/ac fuse out for a few moments and put back in. Heat works great. Took a trip and put approx. 3000 miles on vehicle and it ran great. No problems. Heat quit working again. This time I merely shut heat off while driving and turned back on. Started working again. Today, tried to start the car, it fired for about 2 seconds and shut off. Now, vehicle will not start.

Thanks for the tips. However, yesterday, I got the car running. I did this by pumping the gas pedal several times while turning the car ignition over in. I know that this probably isn't the best thing to do with a fuel injected car. My wife also reminded me that this was not the first time this has happened.
