Ok i have a 96 trans am lt1, and i just went to the car wash to go wash my motor off and went to crank it after i washed it off and it took about 7 tries to finally get it crank, then it ran perfectly fine and i drove about 10 miles and stopped and got gas and it cranked perfect again , well got about 2 miles in the busy ass traffic and was sitting at a stop light and went to take off and my car just died and wouldt crank back up, i tried so many times the battery went dead, and got someone to jump me off and it would turn over and over and sputter and wouldnt crank. SO WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Is it the opti , or fuel pump or what? i have no idea , just got home just now and tow truck just unloaded my car.................please anyone know whats up
