I was driving home from my girlfreinds house this morning, and while driving ~35 the engine all the sudden died. Last week it did the same thing, but it started right up after I unplugged the throttle sensor. I replaced that the next day, so I figured the new one might be bad so I tried unplugging that and it still would not start up. I had my motor freshly rebuilt, the specs really didnt change at all. The fuel pump works, I have fuel pressure, and after trying to start it you can smell gas. I have heard that the computer sometimes comes lose if you have taken it out a few times, and I have but after wiggling the connections it still would not start up again. It does not sound at all like it wants to start. If the computer is not connected entirely would the injectors still spray? Or is this just an igniton problem.
Thanks

 

I had that same problem when going about 65 or so on the highway...make sure the ignition coil didnt come loose, thats all it was for me.


good luck

 

Alright I just got back from class, I'm going to test to see if its the coil just getting loose, I doubt thats it thou because I checekd the plugs on the coil when I went back before class to try and start her. I guess I'll take it off clean the connections and put it back on before having to resort to calling AAA.

 

The connection for the ignition coil was lose. Aparently the someone who owned the car before me replaced the connector, and one of the crimp connections were loose.
