ignition control moduel? My '93 is having this problem now too. But mine backfires and dies while i'm driving just normally. i'm about to put a crank sensor in mine 2moro. But since ur's has a distributor it doesn't have a crank sensor i think. Make sure the injectors are pulsing like they r supposed to
