car shuts down while driving, check engine light comes on, wait 10 minutes starts up again....

and then shuts down again?!!?!

it cranks, but doesn't turn over.....unless u wait like 10-15 min....

it all started today, 2 plug wires came off my cap, and then stalled, I pushed into a parking lot and waited and waited, cranked and cranked, but never turned over!

so I replaced the distributor (reman) and an msd oe extreme cap and rotor...

car started right up, I was like 3 miles down the road and she stalled, like the title says, and 2 more times on the way home.....

I don't get it, it's NOT the alternater, that works fine and the battery is new as well

changed the spark plugs like a week ago (bosch platinums)

WTF is going on?!?!!? PLEASE HELP

Re: (BLKGSR24)

yeah, find out what the cel code is. That's where you should always start. Could be a bad ground? or maybe a loose wire? Good luck. Always a pain to track down something like that.
