I have a 91 DA9 and its starting to give me problems. Its started up fine then after you drive it for like 5-10 min it dies. But it starts up back fine but idk when its dying on me. I changed the starter, dizzy,and the MFR.
Is the fuel pump bad?

DirtyDA9

Changed the starter? The starter wouldn't cause your car to die lol. But there is a possibility that the fuel pump is shorting out or just plain $hitting out on you. Take it out and bench test it, don't continue to just throw parts at it hoping to fix it.

Does it die every 5-10 minutes all the time, or does it stop stalling once the car warms up?

You say it's "starting" to give you problems. Have you recently done work to the car, or did this just come up out of the blue?

Does the Check Engine light ever illuminate while driving?

I changed the starter and dizzy cuz the car sometimes didnt start. After changing that it would still not start sometimes so i change the MFR. It was running fine then on the way home it just died on me. Ever since that it dies every 5-10min.

When you crank and the engine refuses to restart, does the tach needle jiggle just the tiniest amount while cranking, or is it dead-still?

JosephInTheGame

It starts up but fine but just dies. Where is the tach needle located?

TheRealTegger

I get it now: It dies regularly, but always restarts immediately. Forget the tach.

When the engine dies, do the dash idiot lights all come on?

JosephInTheGame

It dies then the check engine light turns on. Then i just the key out and restart it and it starts up fine.

I had the same problem just on my 98 DC
Changed spark plugs and wires, starter, battery, fuel pump distributor cap and rotor.
Ended up being my ignitor in the distributor went out, so I just changed the whole distributor and problem solved.

I changed the whole dizzy with a brand new OEM one and still having the same problem.
