Car stalled while on the way home. At first we thought it could be not getting enough spark, so we took out the Coil Pack as its called. Brought it to get tested and they told me the 2 coils needed to be replaced but the ignition module that they sit on was ok. So we get home and put on the new coils and everything and still nothing. It seems to be getting gas cause we can see it in the throttle body. Heck we even tryed to pour fuel directly in the throttle body and use starter fluid but didn't work. I was told to check out the ignition fuse and see if its ok, and it is. We took out the spark plugs and they seem to be bone dry, and this is after we try to crank it numerous times. Just confused as to what to do next, we was also told to check out the timing chain, and to do that is take out a spark plug and try to crank it and see if you can feel pressure, well we felt pressure. So we have no clue, cause its getting spark & pressure.

If it is not your ignition control module, then it probably is the fuel pump or the relay. Try replacing the relay before anything, it is the cheapest thing to do. We have a 93 Chevy Lumina APV with 209 thousand miles on it and have had to replace the ignition module twice and the fuel pump twice, even though I think it was only the relay the second time. Good luck
