Sent to Car Experts July 18, 2006 1:17 p.m.

my car usually starts, sometimes it won't, but while i am driving it dies, and the electric windows and locks won't work when this happens. After i allow it to sit for awhile, it usually starts with no problem. What can this be? It is a 94 Buick LeSabre. I am a single mother and can't afford another car right now, not even a used one. thanks!

Hi, Star!

I'm sorry to hear this, its not really what you need right now!

Tell me, when it doesn't start does the engine turn over and not fire, or does nothing happen, you turn the key and a tumble weed rolls past?

Cheers!

Geordie

When it does start, it sometimes seems to cough and choke, then I press the gas, and it will finally catch, at times. But as I am driving, it will die. Then, it won't start. At this time, the windows, electrical won't work. I let it sit an hour, sometimes two, and it starts.
