My 88 Dodge has been giving me some problems.
The fuel delivery runs wonderfully however once the engine reaches alittle lower than operating temp (or about 5 minutes) the motor suddenly shuts off. Not stalls out from a lack of fuel or air, but instantly as if a coil wire or ignition wire was disconnected.
After that it won’t restart.
It will crank, spark, and run normally in the “Ignition Start” position but as soon as the key is released it turns off. I thought at first it was a “Ignition Run” fuse blown or a fusible link burnt etc but once you leave the engine for a few hours and it’s stone cold. It restarts just like normal beautifully.
I’ve checked it with a known working coil and ECU box and both do not solve the issue.
Ignition switch? Broken wire somewhere in the circuit?
