Alright, i was driving the other day (raining) when my gauges stopped working, no tach no speedo. After another like 3 minutes or so my car stalled on me. I got a buddy to boost me and i tried to drive but it was like my car was mis-firing and bogging out.

There was a hole in my distributor cap and the wires were chewed up, so i replaced distributor cap, rotor button, plugs and wires, battery, and put new connections on the battery wires (there nice not a hack job)

After doing this my car run good for the night, woke up the next morning and the same thing started happening. it started, ran for like 10 minutes, then i lost my gauges and it lost all power and eventually stalled.

I considered the alt. and took it to an auto shop and it tested good.

(Ive also cleaned the IACV and PCV valve).

What else could cause this? ANY help is greatly appreciated as i need my car for a decently long drive in a few days.

Thanks.

 

Did you check your grounds on the T-stat? Had same thing happen after my motor swap.

 

I shall check it out now and post results.
thanks!

 

Youre tip was very helpful, Thank you muchly!
Followed the ground from the tstat and it was fine into the harness. so me and a buddy traced it strait from the battery (previous owner relocated it to the trunk and he wasnt much of an electrician) found that the main ground had pretty much corroded in half.

Cost me 22.50 to replace the wire from the fusebox to the harness AND its done 100x better than before.

cars running good.

Real good considering all the excess maintenance i did :D

thanks again,
