Engine Mechanical problem
1994 Geo Prizm 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 194xxx miles

My name is Jill and my dad and I have been trying to figure whats wrong with my geo prizm. I was driving it 6 wks ago and everything shut off completly and couldn't get it started. We repaired the brakes, fuel pump, cap and roters, filter and a few plugs and i took it to a michanic and he had it for a month and a wk and couldnt even figure out what was wrong with it. We got it now to start and it'll run fine but untill you stop at a stop sign it'll die everything will shut off. We are stumped and I hope you can help.

ps. hope to here from you soon
thankyou

One thing to check is a stuck relay. Look for relay labeled "engine main". If broke it will shut off everything.

When car dies, try starting fluid into throttle body, if engine runs a few seconds, then problem is fuel related.
