92 LX runs strong then dies.....
I have a 92 LX 5-speed. The car runs great for 10 minutes then shuts down, no sputtering, just shuts down. I let it sit for 20 minutes and i'm able to start it and make it home. So yesterday I changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil and the car does the same thing. I've searched the posts and got some conflicting info. I know it's not a fuel pressure issue, I have a fuel pressure gauge on my a pillar. I assume that it's an ignition control module or something in the distributor, right? My car has MSD coil, MSD distributor, MAC CAI, MAC headers, Mac O/R H-pipe and MAC mufflers. The rest of the car is stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! -Dave

when it won't start do you have spark?? and or fuel pressure??? need to narrow it down!!....most likely it's a spark issue and when it won't start you need to run the tests and on msd's website there are troubleshooting instructions for their elec components....you'll need a multimeter to test the pick up coil in the dizzy for correct resistance reading.....but if you just want to slap a part try the tfi module

I agree, sounds like the TFI module.

Possible it could be something else, but my guess is on the tfi.
