I have done a complete tune-up(spark plugs,cap.rotor,af,gf and distributor last year)

The main problem is the car cuts off while i am driving then it takes me about 3, 4 turns of the key to get it started it again. I have hooked up the computer to it and it does no read any codes

That`s a hard issue..
Could be the main relay, fuel pump or relay (this three didn`t trow a CEL ) ...

I suggest to start checking the fuel pressure and relay when you are cranking and didn`t start...


if checked OK check the Main relay ...

We have to have a process of elimination...
