car is a 94/95 pontiac bonneville
so my girlfriend's bonneville just dies randomly at any RPM while idling or driving. it's happened before on the highway and i dont want her to freak out and get into an accident because of it.
just before the car dies the check engine light flashes and it dings 3 times. silimar sound to that of a courtesy chime (when the doors are open and the key is in) but it's faster. the car will also start right back up as if nothing happened.
i pulled each plug off of the coil pack and post/wire #5 was all corroded. i had her start the car up and there was still spark arching from the post to the wire.
a car needs 3 things: fuel, air, spark. im convinced it's not the pump because the car will start back up and run fine. im not sure about the spark - can coil packs go bad, but still run? and i haven't checked the air filter yet. could it be the fuel filter?
i dont want to go throwing money at problems.
also where is the harness to read the codes from the computer?
thanks
