Firebird runs great for 25-45 mins then stalls out. And will not start (no spark). No Code(s). Only "Check gauges light" . But nothing else.
Let sit for 30-45 mins starts up and runs for about the same amount of time.
I have just found out that is has been going on with the previous owners but not as bad. It seems the more I fixed the worst I have made the stalling condition.
Something is sending a signal to shut down the ignition. But there is a lot of Wiring and Sensors. See my delema.
The only real fact I know is it will run longer in the cool morning than in the hotter afternoon.
Replaced: Key Cyclinder, ECM, BCM, EGR, O2 sensor, catalytic converter, fuel filter, 2 coil packs, spark plugs and wires, Water Temp sensor, Thermostat.
The Ignition Control module checked GOOD (when Cold). Tried heating ICM up with a lighter but still checked Good.
So, can someone tell me exactly which sensor(s) or Module or Wiring would shut down the ignition. Thanks

Your intake manifold may cause this problem, though that usually cause the car to die immediately. Make sure all mounting bolts/nuts are tight and all vacume hoses connected to the manifold are attached properly and in good condition.
