ok i was driving today and all the sudden my RPM and speedo went to 0 but i was still cruising in drive at like 60 (was going like 80ish) i was like what the hell i still have power steering and brakes...so i touched the gas then it completely stalled and i lost all power steering...i thought maybe i ran out of gas since the gas guage doesnt work right...not the problem it cranks fine and is getting fuel...cap, coil, rotor are all new hypertech ones, brand spankin new accell 8mm wires...so im thinking it sounds like an ingition module...i got the part tonight and im gonna put it in in the morning...you think this sounds like the problem?

 

^^

 

Pull it out and have it tested at a parts store.

I know when I had one go (after a nasty D-Nut session in a parking lot) the car sputtered really bad for about an 1/8th of a mile, then it died. Wouldnt start after that. Now this is not the only time I've had one go bad (4 times to be exact), sometimes the car would start up when one was bad so...

It seems to me that they have a mind of their own, the blow or work half assed when they want. Best thing to do is have it tested, that way you'll eliminate one thing from the long list of things it could be.

Hope this helps.

 

i had my dad pick me up a new one last night whilei was at work im about to go put it in..even if the other isnt bad i still like replacing things that are old

 

Cool, let us know how it goes.

 

not the ignition module...gonna try the ingition pickup

 

Instead of a long list of unnecessary parts,you could buy a DMM and actually test the suspected items instead of replacing them.

 

i have a multimeter but i have no idea about how to go about testing stuff...im getting no spark thats all i know

 

this is a post of mine from the gtasourcepage its the last post not the whole page...
was doin 120 and my car cut out has hasnt started in 10 days..thought i had it fixed but to no avail...let me know what u guys think
thanks

ok i thought i had the problem solved when i found out it was my tps...they said it was roasted...it took 3 days for the guys at the auto parts store..they sent the "E" engine code twice and then finally got it right and had to ship it from new jersey...i got it put it on reset the ecm and tried to start it and to wouldnt kick over....its got spark and fuel pressure (i hear it reach the cutoff) i changed the fuel filter and the control module is good...i think me and my buddy checked the vacuum on the feul pressure regulater and he said it didnt have very much.....i had a compression leak i tighted the plug...i have oil pressure..
couldnt it be the wiring to the tps?? or maybe the switch on the bottom of the clutch?..ive gone through every thing you can without a scanner and its been unsucessfull....i have no idea whats wrong..but its prolly somethin simple...just my luck..
so when the tps went out so did somehting else...the tps is new and now the other gremlin has to be tracked down....
let me know guys.....my "dogs" are killin me
"crazy"

that died while driving and wouldn't start, and the problem was a blown fuse in the fuse block under the dash.
