I was driving down the road when I came to a stop sign, I had the radio turned up so I didn't hear the engine at all. But when I went to go there was nothing there. I turned the radio off and the engine wasn't running. I tried to start it and it kind of stared but died right away. So I let it sit for a couple of minutes and tried it again and it did the same thing. It starts for just a second but while it's running it's chugging really bad and when I give it gas it dies.

I first though maybe fuel pump but I would have noticed a problem earlier. This just happened pretty much instantly. So now I'm thinking maybe fuel injectors?

Also the motor that's in it is from an 00' or 03' vic interceptor I'm not sure which year exactly. The motor only have 75000 on it while the chassis has 156000 currently.

If anyone can help me out or give me an idea of what it is, that would be great. I'm stressing out since this is my only transportation. Thanks again!

Well it turns out that it was the fuel pump shut off switch. I guess the road I was traveling down was rough enough to trigger the shut off switch to activate. Just had to push one button and now it works.
