The last week or so my car hasn’t start up and then when I do get it running, I would give it a little gas and then it would sound like it wanted to die out and then we’ll keep running then when I would put it in gear and give us some gas the car would just shut off. I changed the fuel pump, ignition coils, wires, spark plugs crankshaft sensor. Do you think my ignition control module needs to be replaced?

This can be caused by many things such as a bad throttle body, accelerator pedal sensor or bad MAF sensor, the best way forward is to runt he codes to see which ones are stored. Here is a guide to help us see what is going on.

It can even be the engine has jumped time. Please upload a short video in your response of the engine cranking over so I can tell if the engine is still good :) Please go over this guide and get back to us.
