1994 V6 Trouble.. Need A Diagnosis Please!
Hello enthusiasts,
So i have a 94 3.8 V6 that has been running totally fine until yesterday.. I had been driving all day in town (lots of starting and stopping), and on the highway it died while I was driving. Not all at once, but it bogged out and then wouldn't start again. It sounded like a fuel issue, but I could hear the fuel pump engaging. It was turning over but not coming to life. I had to get it towed home and of course as soon as it was back in the driveway it started up and ran fine for more than 10 minutes (and didn't die again, I just shut it off). I ran the ODB scanner and no codes came up.. What could my problem be? I know it is not an electrical thing but I think it might have something to do with the fuel pump relay in the CCRM (Constant Control Relay Module) from the heat of driving all day. I had a friend who had similar problems and that's what it turned out to be. BUT, all my temp gauges were normal. If anyone has any input or advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

whens the last time it had a tune up? sounds like what happened to my cobra when the ignition system went bad
i'd check for spark and buy this tool from your local auto shop that checks to make sure each spark plug wire is getting power
