I own a 1989 buick century and it was runnign great until one day I was on the freeway and it just turned off like a switch so I left it and went back the next day it started and ran and got me home but was missing then it got worse and now it will run for a minute and die I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel relay switch and fuse, crankshaft position sensor, egnition control module, and now I do not know what to do. It is still doing the same thing it will start and run for a minute and die it seems to be worse when it is hot outside.

Wow, stop throwing parts at it.

If you would have had a diag from a shop. You would have saved a ton of money.

Find the computer under the right side of the dash and drop it to the floor. Start the car and tap on it to see if it stalls or changes pitch.

Common failure in the late 80's
