ok so i’ve had my car running fine for the longest time … and this morning just decides to fuck off. here is what happened :

woke up today … saw snow … turned the car on … let it warm up. i go around the block sideways a few times. i get home , turbo time it, its fine. come back to my car after about 10 minutes to go to a buddies house , i try to turn it on … nothing . turns over fine … fuel pump primes just wont start. after checking out a bunch of shit i try again … starts for about 10 seconds … runs fine idles fine … and dies . im guessing im not getting any spark but i want your input

have you looked at your battery connections for corrosion? or possibly the positive post on the alternator…sounds like a bad connection to one of the two.
