    98 Gt Starts Fine Then Shuts Off While Driving/idling

    Ok guys, after being on vacation I have found a little time to troubleshoot. I have performed most above test with no smoking gun. Car never gets to closed loop before shutting off. MAF values are unchanged. I do not see a pump speed PID however after monitor several parameters and restarting...

    Thanks for the responses guys :) All the info you have suggested I check, I believe is displayed on the scanner I using. I havent had much time to work on the car this week, as I work 630p-630a ughhhhh. I will look into all the values you have stated above and let you know how it goes? I have...

    Thanks for response! The car will run between 35-45 seconds and shutoff every time, no matter what. I focused on the CCRM simply because I never noticed the "clicking" before now. I can noticeably hear a click in CCRM before car shuts off, I have noticed it does stumble a very slight bit. With...

    I had limited time today to check with Snap-On scanner with all the bells and whistles. It "had" 2 stored codes, one for IAT temp high and one for PATS theft key detected or something along those lines. I some how deleted those, as they no longer stored. Dumb me! I do believe those may have been...

    I swapped batteries with no luck. Lights or dashlights are not dimming at all. Anyone think this could be a CCRM related issue, as AC stopped working a few months back as well. Thanks for the replies, keep them coming as I appreciate the help immensely.

    I have heard about the batteries having to excite the alternator, which was new to me. I haven't bee able to get a scanner yet, but I may just purchase one, as suggested by you guys. The weird thing here is: the car starts fine and runs about 35 seconds EVERYTIME and then just cuts off with very...

    I don't have a code scanner, so I have not checked code yet. I will check tomorrow. Currentlt when I start there is no check engine light while running. Check Engine light and Battery light come on when car dies. Not sure this is a hard CEL though???

    Also, last time I drove it, I had to jump start it and it ran fine. People I have spoke to said it could be the battery, but why would the car start fine everytime? Also, heard fuel issue, but why would it start and run fine for a bit, no stuttering just cuts off. Thanks in advance!!!

    Guys, new to forum but lifelong Mustang fan. I have 98 GT with about 140K on it, no real problems other than basic issues. Today while driving (car been sitting for about 3 weeks), car shut off after about 5 miles. Just lost power, shutoff with no warning. Able to restart with no problems, able...
