darn work car problem again
 

ok i posted awhile ago that i had a grand am (93) that would not start.
well, i changed the crank sensor the first time and it popped but did not start, i changed it a second time and it ran perfect for about 20sec. i dont just want to keep replacing them, and gain 20sec of driving time each time. ;) when it runs it will run perfect but then just cut out, no stumbling or anything.
what do you think could be the problem?
i got this car for $500 and its in perfect condition, if i could just find out what the hell is wrong with it, it will be a great car.
HELP ME PLEASE

BTW: it has the 3.3L engine

where abouts do you live, I thnk I know who sold you that car! haha! who I'm thinking of works in Norton, MA probably lives around there.

NEW LENOX, IL a couple 100 miles off:D

Well Sn, i maybe can help you. I am not sure what you know but lets try this. When the car stall and wont start again, does it have spark? answer this and i will walk you through the rest.

no it doesnt have spark...i know thats why it doesnt restart.

its definitely a spark problem, i had the coil module tested (ok) and the coils tested (also ok) i have also replaced the computer, i was told that the wires from the crank sensor to the coil module must have a break in them somewhere, so i ran new wires and tomorrow i am going to get a new crank sensor and see what happens.

i have narrowed it down to something shorting out the crank sensor.

do you have any other ideas?

thanks

so what happened when you put the new cranks sensor in?

been too lazy.......going out to do it in 15 minutes. ill let you know
