I posted as topic other day about my car would just shut off while i was driving it and then it would restart with no problem. I changed the coil in the dizzy but here the new part.Today i drove the car and ran fine but when i got on the gas hard acceleration when i get off the gas then it would shut off and i cant figure this out . Any help would be appreciated The car is a 93 del sol si all stock automatic

What is it doing when you try to start? Just cranking?

I had a issue with the ignition where I would start the car and as soon as I let off the key it would shut off, and sometimes when I could start it, I would be driving and it would start cutting out. Turned out to be bad contacts in the little ignition cylinder for position II.

just keeps cranking .I went out and checked and i dont have spark now so i about to go get a new distributor and check that .

why not test the battery to see if you have juice then test the dizzy igniter before you buy a new dizzy?

I bet you have a bad cap, probably corroded. I would replace the cap, if that doesnt fix it...get new wires and plugs.

bought a new ignition coil about a month ago cause the old one quit and now with the new one it starting to shut off would it poss. be a defective coil.

and would a old dizzy cap cause it to lose spark . The cap didnt seem bad when i put a new coil in but the rotor look little rough but i didnt think that would make a car just shut off whie it was running

It's possible, but typically when the coil fails, the car will instantly die and not restart. It's also possible that you have an ignitor (ICM) problem or an ignition switch contact assembly problem.

Yes, a badly worn cap & rotor can cause the exact symptoms you're having.

When was your last ignition tune-up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires)?

Trust me, it will...A bad rotor will make your car shut off while driving. I bet if you get those parts replaced your car will be back and running fine.

I've always replaced stuff before it fails me so I do not know what a bad rotor looks like, any pics?

DAVE15401

i didnt think it was that old but the rotor is like little over a yr old which means about 25000 miles ill tery that b4 i change the whole dizzy

Thanks all found out and got it fixed when i put te nw coil in the guy that was doing it at work for me lol lost one of the screws and when i was changing the cap and rotor i notice the screw he put in was to long and wasnt making good contact with the new coil so i put washer on there and tightened it up and works fine now ,,I cant wait till tomorrow to smack my friend
