97 960/S90 died and won't start
 
Just drove the car. It was running fine then at a stop sign I felt it miss fire a couple of times. At the next stop sign it started missing really bad and then died. It would barely start and idle rough for a few seconds and die. Any thoughts? By the way no check engine light and 3/4 tank of gas.
Thanks

Maybe fuel pump died.
You need to check for spark and fuel.

Thanks Tech
So how would I check for a bad fuel pump? And how tough would it be to replace?

Check for fuel pressure at the schrader valve on the fuel rail.

It isn't all that hard to replace. There is an Access panel in the trunk to get to it.

Mystery solved. Towed the car to the mech today. After extensive trouble shooting they found the problem. Aparently after replacing the A/C compressor a few weeks ago. They (a different garage) didn't tighten a couple of grounding straps. They worked loose and walla no electric. Thanks for the help anyway!

Glad you got it fixed.
Would have been my next guess.
