car was running perfectly prior to this, had injectors cleaned 2 years ago

My first guess would be the ignition module in the distrubutor.

[Bowls]

Jumped a groove on the timing belt maybe?
too little or too much fuel with little or too much o2 possibly?

[warlocke]

that would make sense as well bowls

[Bowls]

if it is a standard and during these stalls, did u ever at one point have the car lurch violently forward in a series of jerks before it stalled? or is it an automatic?

[rudster]

first thing i replaced was ignition module, no violent lurch, its an auto, replaced timing belt 3 or 4 years ago since problem started intemitently dont think its the belt

[rudster]

got it running, put back my original coil, and it fired right up, replacement coil must have produced to weak of a spark. lets see how long it runs now and if it continues to cut out from time to time which caused this whole mess

[rudster]

as expected it cut out afer a few min. mybe coil original problem, will try another coil and see if it continues to run.

[rudster]

put another coil in, same problem, car runs perfectly for a few min. then cuts out. will only restart after you leave it for a while. sounds like a ignition module, but have already replaced it with a brand-new one. put back old module, does the same thing. I'm going crazy

Your computer might not looked fried, but it still may not be operating properly. Electronics, most of the time, you can not tell what is wrong by just looking at them.
I don't know how to go about testing an ECU, but if you cannot think of anything else to cause the problem, there is one for sale in the for sale/wanted forum. i think it was 15$?

You say you got good spark and fuel,maybe you got hold of some bad gas,or maybe water in the tank.

[festivaWES]

i was gonna say coil, but you ruled that one out already....i just had the same problem with a buddy of mine in his 323....coil was the problem.

[rudster]

no fuel problem, took out pump in my endeavor to get this thing to keep on running, tank is clean, no water. it just runs perfectly for about 5 min then turns off. wiggled just about every wire and connection on the car. I wish the head was gone or something else, that i could deal with, this is nuts. if i don't get it running soon, i may have to get rid of the car or my wife, its come to that

[rudster]

car will not restart for a few hours, then poof, it starts and runs perfectly for a few min before it turns off.
