mystery, but the plot thickens 2.3l Non-t irregular starting
Ok I got a big problem, when my car has been driven for a while and I turn it off, it will not start-up again intermittenly. The harder I drive the car the more likely it might not start for at least 15 to 30 minutes.
With not starting I mean that it will turn it will start but immediately stall, it will go to 500 or 1000 rpm and shake then go to 0 if I hit the gas it might drown if it goes to 500 if it gets to 1000 I am usually able to ease it to 2000 and then it will stay on.
I also have an exaust leak, somewhere under the drivers side which might be a minor contributing factor. I would like some opinions on what it could be since the car will stay on if it is started.
Specs of car 92 lx convertible, 2.3L EFI no turbo or other mods, once it's started it's responsive accelerates finedrinks a little too much gas but that's about all I can say.

Run codes, more than like TFI on distributor from what I read they more then likely fail with heat. How long since tune plugs,wires,cap, rotor?

Codes are 11,11,11,11,32,75,43,32,75,43 I read up on them and I got a question could these be due to a faulty connection to the tps? Because someone told me that that could be the tps or a vaccum problem and the hoses seem fine, also today I was looking at ways to uninstall the tps sensor to look-up which of the two models it is and he told me that maybe I'm lucky and that the contacts being corroded might be my problem. I cleaned the contacts and while I don't know if that fixed the problem (yet),I do know the car's rpm seems a little different subjectivly.

PS What do those codes exactly mean I looked up the codes but it all might as well be chinese to me be specific on what I should check.
PSS: Ehh the wires and sparks are very new as in just six months ago this thing has 8 plugs and seems to be totally electronic I have not seen where the rotor is yet if this thing even has one :S
But here is some new info, I dunno but I might have fixed the problem still could need advice though.

Sorry didn't read 92 my fault. Your runs off cranksensor not distributor sorry. So no rotor or cap. 32 is egr valve located on upperintake.75 is electronic control unit input open ? 43 ego lean at wide open throttle. ? You can't get to wide open. The way I check for vacumn leaks is plug line and intake if solves it keep adding lines till shows up. Egr valve maybe stuck open allowing a large vacumn leak. You can take is off and see is it is open. They way I read the coil packs spark plug wires come off can fail when hot. Don't know how to test this therory I think autozone.com may say. do a search on this site I have read of problem with them. Will do more thinking if think of anything will post again. not much help so someone help him more.

Or you can test the coild packs one at a time by hooking up cylinder 1 coil packs to spark plugs and turn the engine over (make sure the others are unpluged to!!!
