I have a 1995 mitsubishi galant recently i have had a problem with the engine shutting off while i am driving. i can drive up too 4 or 5 miles at about 50 to 60 miles per hour suddenly the car will shut off and backfire one to two times then its is very difficult to get it started agian if at all i have no idea what could cause this ive checked the spark plugs they look fine so i am lost. note: it is a manual 4 cyclinder 16 valve.

There are seveal things that can cause this type of problem. First you need to check for spark at the plug wires after it stalls, if you have good spark then you need to check the fuel pressure.

After you find out if you have lost spark or fuel pressure then you will need to find out why you have lost spark or fuel pressure. This could be the tough part to diagnose yourself.

Once you have found out about the spark and fuel pressure let me know what you find!
