i ran it for an hour this morning then I drove it around untill it died again.
it went three miles then died. it restarted and made it back to the house.
i checked for spark out of the coil, all i got was a very small hard to even see
spark.

I took out the Alternator andhad it tested.
he ran the test five times it tested good each time.

the only sugestion the guy at oreillys had was take it to a shop.

How old is your fuel pump? could it possibly be cutting out?

I can hear the fuel pump when I try to start it up

it is not getting spark for some reason.
is their a sensor or module that would make it not spark?

I've had to replace my ignition control module before, could be that.
