Re: Help guys running issue
Possibly sounds like your ICM is getting hotter than it should. Next time it happens check to see whether you have spark coming from the distributor.

Re: Help guys running issue
Antares is right about ICM, it will fail to send the injector signal to the ECM and injectors will not fire. Also ck for rust in the gas tank, when you drive the car it stirs it up and gets sucked onto the filter on the pump, clogging fuel flow. So car runs fine on start up but craps out after driving. The test is to check fuel pressure after it fails. Just a thought from the symptoms you describe.
