Consumer Description

I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY CAR CUTTING ON AND OFF... I CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP I CHANGE THE SENSORS AND I'M STILLL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF WHEN IT WANTS OR STARTING WHEN IT WANTS. I'M NOW ABOUT TO CHANGE MY FUSE BOX IN MY TRUNK TO SEE IF THAT WORKS. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL START IS IF I MESS WITH THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK. ALSO I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. I CHANGED THEM ABOUT 3 TIMES ALREADY BUT THEY KEEP GOING OUT.
