I already checked the Vacuum lines.

So this is the 5th time this has happened recently, the first two times i was in second gear, trying to maintain 25mph and she cuts off. I turn the key, she starts and we keep going.

3rd and 4th time I'm accelerating from a light and when I hit second gear she lurches and dies. Again, turn the key and we're off.

Today, cruising at 70mph in 5th on I-264 and she shuts off. Turn the key, nothin. Again, nothing. By now I've slowed to 50, there's (miraculously) no one behind me so I put it in 2nd, drop the clutch and we're good to go.

Why? That's all I want. Why? like I said, I already checked the vacuum lines, since it seems to be a popular solution to eng. problems. Any help is appreciated. 5 times in 3 weeks isn't a big deal, but I don't want this to happen at the wrong time and put me or anyone else in harms way.

By this do you mean it won't start up or it won't crank over????

Take a look in the mirror. Tell the guy: "youre driving an ol car, that is WHY"

Old cars need 'some' serious tuneup, check:

I don't think it was cranking over at all. It started again fine when i got home though.

You need to check all your sensor connections,battery connections,ground
connections for corrosion [green crap]....It will not cost you a dime to check these things,and could fix the problem without changing parts that are not bad....

hit the hazards if it happens again and people are behind you. i'd check fuel system.
