my caprice made pop sound while driving and dosent start no more
i have a 90's model caprice with police package in it. it broke down in georgia i got it running again and it was running strong but a little further down the road it made a pop noise and died it hasnt started since. i thought maybe it was the fuel pump any ideas? i would use the search engine but i dont know what im searching for its been a few years now and i still cant figure it out if any one has any good ideas please let me know

Assuming the "pop" noise came from under the hood? Was it a loud enough pop you could hear it over the radio, A/C,etc; or were you driving with the radio and A/C off?
Possibly your battery positive end touched ground, if it was loose, or a loose piece of metal touched it. Look for damage around the battery such as a melted wire,terminal, or a cracked battery casing.
Maybe your distributor cap cracked? Pull the cap and see if the inside of the distributor is OK.
Look around under the hood for obvious damage, if it was electrical, you may be able to see or smell the scorched circuit,wire or component.
Did your fan belt break?

no no radio or ac was on. Lets say if it was the distributor cap would it make the car not start? there was no unusual smell just shut off and wouldnt start. fans are still in there no broke ones. before this when i got it to run i was messin around with a rely switch could that of made a pop noise if it went bad? thanks for the input i never would of thought of that might be wrong
