I have a '91 Galant VR4, 95k miles, totally stock, had it since new, white/black. Over the past year (about 8 months apart) I had two episodes when I was driving at about 50mph and the engine just died. I coasted over to the shoulder, and could easily restart the car every time I turned the key, but the engine would dies 5 seconds after starting. During both episodes, after maybe 25-30 times restarting the car, it finally stayed started. Recently, the car has developed the same issue (parked at home), and it will not stay started. My repeated attempts at starting the car (it does stay running for 5 seconds, then the engine dies, no amount of throttle makes any difference) have drained the battery once, and the same problem persists with a new battery installed.
I have done a search, but did not come across any related posts/threads. If anyone has any ideas as to what may be the problem, I would appreciate the input. Thanks.
