Well this morning she started with no problem i went back in the house to get something and i heard her start to bog down and just die. I tried to start her back up and its like the starter is doing its job and is almost getting her to crank then nothing. The battery is new the fuel pump was just replaced and i have new injectors so im confused to all hell. Also the starter is working fine anybody have any ideas?
maybe a dumb question, but when was the last time u changed the air filter?
my girls cav did the same thing. i checked everything to no avail, and it turned out the air filter was clogged, and getting no air, lol
I know you said the battery is new, but does the car start if you boost it? Could be a bad alternator, with the car dying from lack of power for ignition.

The air filter is new just put it on with the supercharger and the alternator is new as well. I have no clue what it could be cause like i said she started right away this morning and then just suddenly died!
Check all of your connections. I had the same problem after my header install. It turned out that it was a loose wire or didn't get screwed back into the starter. Also, is it possible that your starter could be getting too hot, causing it to not start at all. But, definatly, if its not turning over ... you gotta check all of your connections.

^ i can here the starter trying to turn it over but it feels like the engine is stuck thats the best way for me to explain it.
That doesn't sound promising. The worst case scenario I can think of is loss of oil pressure -- followed by the car being unattended long enough for the engine to seize. I hope you find a far cheaper cause.

i have a oil pressure guage so i know i have pressure but the funny thing is i just tried to start her and it felt she was gonna turn over but the starter didnt have enough power to do it. Could it be that my starter came lose or needs replacing?
