well i fixed my first issue on the car the icm went bad and changed one coil and my tach is back to normal now and cel is off now but now i have another problem starting to get frustrated now.

car has been running great since i fixed it . idles fine and all but lets say i'm just driving down the road and all of the sudden the car will shut off and wont restart untill a couple minutes later could this be a crank sensor going bad? doesn't get no rough idle or any signs of it dieing its like when you turn off the engine with the key and the car is just coasting down the road.

one time the cel came back on but went off whatever code that is would it be stored in the computer?

fuel pump has been changed 4 months ago and just replaced the filter as well. mustang is a 1993 with DIS system.

I would guess either the DIS module, or a Crank sensor. When it dies do you still have a fuel pressure? Could also be the fuel pump relay?
