Hey guys! I have a 93 2.3 na. So I was driving down my street coming home from my dads and it just died... I pulled over and tried cranking it for about 30-45min nothing. So I left it there for about 5hrs walked home n came back and she started right up. But it seemed to have a small miss and it staggered when I accelerated. As soon as I got home it died again. Had to push it up the drive way lol. Any answers?

 

Also I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs, spark plug wires, maf, coolant temp sensor, water pump, coils, and the ICM.

 

replaced all of that since it messed up? not sure what type of fuel injection system those have but it sounds like a ignition problem. if its a spider injection setup it could be low fuel pressure.

 

Replaced before hand and yea I think so too

 

Probably bad computer, gets hot and shuts down till it cools off.

 

check ground wires

 

Ill double check the ground wires again and where's the computer? Thanks for all the help guys

 

maybe a bad module inside he dist. They get hot and the car won't run until it cools back off. I forget the name of the part. short term memory problems. I'll remember the name in about an hour.

 

It's has coils

 

It's at it again. It's been acting up real bad now. It'll die and the check engine light won't come on. I hooked it up to my scanner and nuthin... It's doing it like ever 30min of driving

 

Sounds like the classic ignition module failure. The module is on the side of the distributor held on with two 7mm bolts. You need a special socket to change this unit out. They fail with age and heat. When they cool off, they work again like a thermal switch. Class action law suit years ago and some folks were killed when these units died while driving I believe.

 

That's what I was talking about. I had one go bad on a cheby I had years ago. It was inside the dist on that car

 

Oh dang. But I already changed out the ICM about four months ago. Mine is on the intake manifold. Do you guys know if the have repositioning kits for them?

 

Mine is on the intake because it has coils
