Re: my car keeps dying out

Posiable the alarm key transmitter needs a new battery... as for the car dieing sounds like maybe a fuel issue ..... bad pump, cloged fuel rail, fouled injectors??

Re: my car keeps dying out

If the alarm is not factory, and has the ability to disable the engine (not just make noise) I'll bet it is your whole problem. These cars have other common problems though, like the ignition switch. Find a shop you can trust. Ask friends who they take their cars to. You do not have to pay for any repair or service on your car that you did not authorize.

I TOTALLY go with 1969S on this one!

I've seen it many many many times where the alarm will start going bad and screw up your car just like you mentioned....

Get it removed and your troubles will very likely dissappear.
