1996 Buick Park Ave will not start?

The other day I was driving my car and it started to run rough and then died. I started it back up and went about a mile down the road and it died again. So I started it back up and it was running very rough and when I hit the gas it would just die. I towed it to my house and replaced the fuel filter and that didn't help. I checked the fuel pump and it is pumping the gas. It seems like to me it isn't getting gas. I guess it could be the fuel injectors since the car has 148,000 miles on it.

Any other suggestions would greatly help.

    It sounds like you have a bad ignition control module. The only way to find out is to check spark on each cylinder. It will probably show up as 2 cyli9nders not recieving spark and most often the cause is that module.

    injectors will not die like that. It could be the crankshaft position sensor, but you really need a mechanic with a scanner do do some diagnostic work to see what part has failed, otherwise you are just guessing and replacing parts at random.

    Could be bad gas. Try adding a fuel additive.

    See if you have a leak in radiator, check the water and make sure the antifreeze level is right,====
