Help, car losing spark and dying on me!

[skiwesser]

OK, I've been chasing this for a while and I'm pretty sure it's the distibutor but i could very well be wrong so......

After building new motor tuner suggested I get A new Dist. as there were some waves in the graph at high RPM's.
So my brother is a mech. and can get rebuilt ford ones for like $80,got one after about aweek it would'nt start after driving it a while (to work or whatever) but after 5mins to 2 hours later it wold start over and over, I always went home and tried it and it'd start.
Traded dist. fine for a month then same thing, 3rd in now been in for about 4-5 months, 2 weeks ago on interstate it died and came back for a couple of seconds twice in five miles, did this agian about 3 days later, otherwise fine.
Today I get about a mile from home and it dies, I pull over wait about 30 mins. and still no FIRE definetley getting fuel, well I say that there could be trash in tank temporaly blocking fuel but guage is always reading right??
My brother comes to pull me home and as we pull into niegborhood it fires, we go to unhook it and it dies,won't start as before, pull on home unhook and it fires???
New coil and TFI module

Has your brother pulled any codes? Can you?

[goodyear1984]

well i would have said a tfi but u replaced it....if i were u i would put a spark tester and a injector noid on it and when it dies see if ur loosing spark and injector pulse or what....one other thing is the fuel cut off switch int the trunk when they go bad they can act funny too....

No codes, my Brother says I need him and a test light with me next time it dies and he can pin point it, so I hope??
He seems to think we're looking for a bad wire or connection.
(I know nothing about electronics)

On second thought we havn't pulled for any code since this latest dist., we'll try it

93 gt with same problem intermiten stall and has no spark,
replaced pick up in dist, and coil, and module still same thing, if you find out the problem please let me know

[88ponyboy3]

93 gt with same problem,
scanned pcm with mt 2500 snap -on scanner , no codes present
koer and koeo either way no codes present!

[USMC302]

Should be a code no matter what, I think 11 was all good......Have to look it up..

[skiwesser]

No codes came up ( not that relate to problem anyway )
Dude at speed shop says could be wire or connection, ofcourse, or CPU which I doubt because tuner re-flashed and tuned from a stock APL basic program, he also said the module, eventhough new could be overheating and to try misting it with a spray bottle to cool it off and see.... could be it I guess
Somthings getting hot and breaking connection SOMEWHERE!!

[88ponyboy3]

somthing is loosing connection ,youre right.
when the 93 warms up is when it ocurs.
i know that when it does it the tachometer is dead
then if you keep turning it over the tach starts working then the car starts,till it acts up again then the same.
talked to a friend and he said replace the distributor with new 1
i will stay in touch till 1 of us figures it out. thanks

I put in the fourth Dis Fri., went to test and tune Sun.,hot and humid suprisingly, went 8.61 best.In 8.60's-8.70's all day finally got trap speed up to 80.5-81.3 mph so most bugs are gone and dyno-tune worth the money, now will the problem persist?????????/
