I have a 1998 SE. At various times, various conditions, various speeds it will stall and wont restart. I pull over, wait 15 mins and it will restart. There is no check engine light nor any codes in the computer.

I have taken it to a mechanic and they said without a code or the no-start condition actively occuring, they can't help me. They suggested it might be the crank sensor. I replaced that, but it still has the same problem.

It has new wires and plugs. I am suspecting it is the coil pack or fuel pump, but I figured those would throw a code.

Any ideas of what I can test without radomly replacing parts?

Thx

Can't say for sure about yours, but my '92 was a bad Ignition Control Module. Get hot, might start might not. If it started, it might run long enough to get in gear before it died, maybe not. If it ran long enough to get it in gear and moving, it might get a couple of blocks, maybe or not. When it was cold, it would run just long enough to get out somewhere to stall and get you into some serious trouble. It did not throw any codes until it wouldn't start. The codes it did throw pointed to the Ignition Coil Packs. Good luck! - BC

As said above, you can't be sure, but this is typical of an ICM going bad. It has been pretty common that the ICM will heat up and then fail. It could also be the coil packs though. Best suggestion would be to get an ICM and some coil packs from a parts yard and try swapping them out.

Or post in the wanted section. Maybe someone here has some they will part with.

Also, I know for sure that Autozone can test your ICM, perhaps other parts stores too. Make them test it several times to get it nice and hot of course.

Thanks for the info. The ICM did not occur to me. I have a 1997 SSE that I can borrow the ICM from and see if that fixes it. I'll also have the 1998 ICM tested at AutoZone. I'll post back my results in the next couple days.

It stalled twice on me yesterday. Both times within a mile of starting up. It takes longer before I can restart too. Waited over an hour this time.

Thanks again!

Also A fuel pump will act the same way I have had them stop next time it happens thump the tank fist in center will alot of times start up.
