1993 Altama

I was rear ended at a red light. After which the car would not run.When towing it home I put it in 5th gear and after about a mile it caught up and ran as if nothing was ever wrong. A few days later I let the car lug down in a parking lot and crow hoped (jerked)about three times and died. Again it would not run. Another tow with the same results. It cranked after the long tow. I am afrid to drive it. Any suggestions on what is causing it to quit? Oldcharlie

Most likely somthing to do with the fuel tank. A quick visual check under the rear of the car may reval the problem. Just a quick off the top of my head check list would include:

- pinched fuel lines.

- dammaged fuel pump.(if the pump is located at the tank)

- dammaged wire harnes to the fuel pump. (dito above)

- a dammaged fuel tank is causing the fuel pickup to bottom out on tank floor.
