Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2005 Sunfire I've already fuel filter
ran Diagnostics and get nothing she will
either start right up but either a half mile or
10 miles down the road she will just die
sometimes she will start right back up
sometimes it takes several tries to start her
on other occasions it will take multiple tries
to get her started didn't have this problem
before the progressive tracker started
having this problem shortly after I put it in
but it's out now and still having the problem
other days no problems at all very
frustrating it's like the RPMs just disappear

No fuel filters already been replaced and had a sieve home treatment I was looking on that Edmund website if that's alright and they were studying something about a computer control box at the front right inner wheel fender something about if you'd had an accident or blown tire which I did I hit a deer that that box comes open in the wires corrode at the wires crowed over time it starts shutting your car on and off have you heard this is this what you're is doing
