93 obd1 jdmh22...For some strange reason my car will turn over and then just shut itself off. It has been an intermittent problem for awhile mainly b/c I would just push around the dist. until the car would finally start. I eventually found out there was a bolt missing from the dist., and i replaced it. The car ran fine for a week and now it hasnt moved for a couple days and im so angry. I kno it has to be an ignition problem. Alternator is fine, battery is charged, new spark plugs, nology hot wires r 1 1/2yrs old(didnt think they would need replacing). I am completely stumped and do not kno what to do. New distributor or just a cap and rotor? Such an intermittent problem so makes me think its just a loose connection possibly? Plz guys, i need your help!!!!!

 

it might be the electical part of the ignition switch i had the problem about 2 months ago. If you search you should be able to find something on the site I did when i had my problem.

 

Have you pulled the dist. cap off, the rotor button may be gone, sometimes the screw that holds the button on will back itself out

 

ya, could u post a pic of exactly which holes your talking about

 

has pgm-fi main relay written all over it... search for topics about it...

 

the main relay wasnt an intermittent problem i thought

 

Engine ground connection problem..........

 

the main relay usually is intermittent, i'd replace that first. I had the same problem and replacing it fixed my problem

 

coil/igniter? i say get to testing because you can throw $200-$300 in parts at this thing and get nowhere if you're not sure where to go...
