Car cranks/turns over just fine. Has plenty of spark and fuel. Car was acting squirly day before it died. When leaving work, the car started and idled very roughly ~600 rpm. Held my foot on the gas for about 15 seconds seemed to clear it up, drove home without any problems. Started up next morning and drove to work without any problems. When leaving work, car started, ran for about 5 seconds and promptly died and could not be restarted. Unfortunately a buddy of mine was checking fusses and I believe he reset the CEL because it's not throwing any codes. Anybody got any ideas?

Mine did the same. the only way to find out is find someone willing to trade dizzy's for a while. mine did the same. it shut off one day, didnt run, started somehow, then it finally died.
its like how sometimes a tv remote doesnt work, but if you bang it around it does. And when you bang it too much it will finally just poop out. -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
