So tonight on the way home car was running fine then 5 minutes from my house car just dies. Zero pressure on gauge. Just in case I put in two gallons to verify fuel gauge is good didn't help, checked fuses and relay they check out fine. So could it be the fuel pump? Anyway of checking without dropping tanks? Car has 26k on it and fuel pump was replaced thru warranty on crossover repair so maybe 5k on it.

Check the ground for the fuel pump on the frame first.

First time today I had this problem with my 2003. Tried pulling it out of garage and as soon as I let up the clutch the car stalled. I did this several times and eventually got my car out of the garage and it was rolling down my driveway. It would start and idle but if I put it in gear and let up the clutch it just stalls. I managed to get the car back into the garage but at this point I have an expensive dust collector that I can't drive. Any suggestions out there???

Suggest you open your own thread with your problem instead of hi-jacking this one.
Thanks for the advice.

after a few tests and talking to Chris @ ECS we feel it's the MSD BAP so ordered a new ECS model.
