Cars tend to die due to over lean conditions so check for an intake leak or leak past the MAF. Also if you are venting you stock BOV to atmosphere, stab yourself in the eye, and then with your good eye, reconnect it.

When you try to turn the car over, you might hear a "click,click" coming from your passenger floor board right above the kick panel, that's where the ECU hides out and if that click is there, its time to open it up and check the damage, mostly a loose or corrosion set in and you have leaky caps....

If that's the case get a hold Terry Posten its about 50 bucks, get a ZIF socket and then your set up for a keydriver or ECMlink
 

my cuzin checked the ecu its fine some guys in this forum told me to check for a intake leak or boots leak?????

" Boost " leak. Yes check that out, check your maf wires for fraying also to be causing a short. Make sure all hoses are tight and sealed, as to have a closed loop pressure and no leaks, allowing to much air to hit the maf or causing a surge to kill the maf

IPhone 3g records, you just need to plug it into a computer, go to apple's website, and download the ugrade. Then you go to the app store, grab you a video recorder app, and viola. Your all set.
