[s-cars] car died while driving

Forrest,
 Hmmm, not good. My first guess would be either the MAF or the CPS. I  have 
an extra MAF if you want to rule that out. I don't have an extra CPS but  you 
could swap the one from Franks car to test that. A very bad boost leak can  
cause this as well, like if a hose blows completely off. To check this if you  
unplug the MAF the car will run good enough to drive home without stalling.  
Maybe try that first, then the MAF swap and then the CPS. Let me know what  
happens or if I can help.

Elijah

was  driving down highway at 60, accelerated to 110 and the car felt like it 
was  hesitating lightly, then worked fine, slowed back down to 60. 2 miles 
later it  started missing/hesitating agian, I pressed the gas and got no 
response, down  shifted and heard the engine still running through the stromung, pr
essed gas  again and got no response, then dash lights came on and the car died. 
would  not start again for 15 minutes, once started it ran for 20 seconds and  
stalled, also the idle fluctuated between 700-1000 rpms then died, 10 minutes 
 later started again and stalled after a few seconds, what happened? car is  
sitting in a random driveway 20 miles from home as I could not find a flatbed  
at midnight. 
could be fuel pump, plugs, coil pack, pos, cps? replaced  pos's a year ago, 
hmmm. 
towed it backward 30 feet into a driveway with  friends 200, and for a second 
heard a grinding noise, what could that be?  heard it when first started 
pulling car only for a second,(sounded like an  exhaust pipe rubbing against 
pavement, but nothing is hanging off car)  
also while analyzing the issues, I was turning the wheel back and forth  and 
heard a rattle, somthing is loose up front. tierod??? 
advice on these  issues 
thanks much 
Forrest
