I sometimes could get it to start and it would run from 30 seconds to a couple minutes, then stall. I thought Crankshaft position sensor and replaced it. No go. I replaced the fuel pump, no go. I pulled the Control Module and coil packs, had the CM tested and it passed. (We tested it MULTIPLE times til it got good and hot, still passed.) The people at Autozone tested the coil packs against a new one, they all registered roughly 4.6 volts, while a new one went to 8.5. So I replaced the three coil packs and re-installed the CM. (My, what fun it was to get off and then on!) It made no difference what so ever. Would it be the throttle position sensor? If not, what ever help you can give me would be great!@ Thanks, JW.

Hi:
It sounds like you have checked just about everything. If the fuel pressure is good and you're getting spark, the only other things I could tell you to check would be the compression and or timing.

Let me know if there is more info you can provide. For example, have you had the ignition module checked...
