I pulled up to a stop sign and the car went dead. It would not start normally, so I pulled it off with my truck. It runs great but won't idle or restart normally. I drove 50 miles when I got it restarted by jumping it off and no problems except when I try to let it idle. It just goes dead. Can you help?

. Ensure battery is fully charged.

. Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

. Check for any codes.

. Check the distributorless ignition coils.
