Greetings all,

I have a 1994 5.0. For the last couple of months, it has been dying while I am driving it. Sometimes it will chug once, but usually it just dies. After 3-5 minutes, it will start again and run just fine. The interval between dying is not fixed, with the range from 30 minutes to over three weeks. Tonight it died twice after running for a week with no problems.

I have replaced: fuel pump & filter, coil, distributor (including cap & wires), and tfi (ignition module). I have ran the codes, and there are no error codes.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing it to die like it is?

Many thanks,

wierdling

So while it's in no start mode, have you checked it for lack of fuel or spark? Also make sure there are no loose grounds anywhere. maybe get under the hood while it's running and tug on different parts of the harness.

I have not checked it for fuel &/or spark, as the darned thing always dies either a: on the interstate or b: on a city street where there is no close parking. That combined with the time limit (3-5 minutes before it starts again) has made checking for spark/fuel difficult (which lead to all of the parts being replaced).

I checked some grounds, but didn't wiggle any of the other sensors. I guess I will do a wiggle test on it this weekend.

Thanks for the post,

The issue turned out to be the CCRM. The solder for one of the circuits was partially detached from the board and broken. After replacing the CCRM the car runs great.
