Car Runs, Then Turn It Off, Won't Restart For 2 To 48 Hours.
Fuel pump recently replaced = didn't fix problem. Check engine light went on, replaced a seal and that took care of the engine light but the car still stalls out and then after it's sat for a while will start up again. Have to keep car idling or risk that it won't start up again for hours or even days.
