Been having problems with stalling out and quitting for about 6 months. Also RPM gauge would go crazy sometimes at high speed, but car would not quit. But check engine light would either come on or kick off, sometimes when hitting a bump, sometimes not. After driving about 35-40 miles, it cut out before getting home, but didn't stall. Next day wouldn't start, towed to garage. Mechanic checked the coil packs and modulater(good), changed the crank or knock sensor(between motor and transmission), Started up for about 40-50 seconds, died again, and won't start again. Changed ignition switch interupter. No work. Cranks but won't start, still. Changed fuel filter, checked pump, relays. ECM relay clicks when trying to start. Also check engine light DOES NOT come on anymore, all others do. Could it be the ECM/ all grounds look good. Plugs and wires good. Any help is greatly appreciated. C

You got a nightmare here-test the ignition switch out and fuel pressure and then comeback.

The CEL has come On -pull the code/s and comeback with it-this where we start.

CEL Does NOT come ON, anymore at all. :( Tried ignition switch, still no work. :X Can you tell me where to find the hookup for the fuel pressure test. Also can you tell me where to find the ECM on this 95?? :Cry: :cry:
Thanx a million for your help, All help and suggestions greatly appreciated. Pulling out hair and losing my mind. Trying real hard to figure this out, for my freshman college student to get back and forth to her nursing program. Thanx again, Cindy
