The easiest start of troubleshooting is connecting fuel pressure gauge to the rail.
Harbor Freight have the gauges for $19 on sale.

I've got a '97 420, cutting off and going into some sort of immobilization issues as well. Let me know if you find and answer to this one!

Mickeyboone,
You should start your own thread.
Also, fill in your CP info so we all know what you have.
Lastly, have you scanned for codes? If not, you need to do this first, otherwise, it's a complete "needle in the haystack" approach.

Try using the key to lock and unlock the car by sticking it in the drivers side door. After unlocked, try to start the car. That same issue happened to my car and this fixed it for me. I changed my factory remote to a viper alarm with pager. The pager locks and unlocks the car from way further away and can even be locked and unlocked via your smart phone.
