Car trouble, need advice!

I have a '94 pontiac firebird trans am, i was driving on the freeway when she started to lose power and slow down, and she eventually cut off. I've had no problems with her until today, I think the problem might be the igition module, but Im not sure, looking for any suggestions as to what it might be.

Re: Car trouble, need advice!

Start easy and then work toward the complicated. Start by relieving any fuel pressure at the schrader valve. Cycle power 6 or 7 times to on for 3 seconds and then off without cranking the engine. Then check the schrader valve again to see if pressure built up.

If that appears to be ok, check a few plugs for spark.

If that's ok, check the injectors for pulses.

Scan for codes.

Re: Car trouble, need advice!

The motor only needs 3 things to run. Air, fuel, and spark. Find the one it doesn't have or isn't working properly and you may have your answer.
