Re: My 383 keeps dying =/
Must be different with 93's and 96'z. I have owned both.
There are nipples on a TB.
Top goes to a sensor, (I believe it is for EVAP, or a fuel vapor purge from the EVAP canister).
Middle is PCV, comes from the top of the passenger side valve cover.
Bottom is coolant, it is a cross over to heat up the Throttle body for cold weather.
I guess you are right.

You said you have no spark when it heats up Yes? If that is the case, either use freeze spray to cool down the suspect component or wait till its cold and heat up the ignition components one piece at a time. You could also check the wires from the ICM to the coil for 12 volts DC and from the PCM to the ICM for 1-4 volts AC when it is cranked after the spark goes away.
Don't understand why you say it idles fine, but shakes pretty bad. Doesn't that mean it idles bad, not fine??????? Did you check for a dead cylinder? Aside from having a dead cylinder, you could also be loosing spark when it gets hot.
If you think you have a bad head gasket that is leaking coolant into a cylinder, have you pulled any plugs to see which one????????
Does it seem to loose coolant when it sits? That is, does the level at the radiator go down even the vehicle is not used?
