Okay, so I was driving home from a school football game and the car started popping (back firing i figure) and then it just cut off, the lights and stuff stayed on, im pretty positive the radio did too. But I pulled off called my dad, he came and met me and after awhile it cranked and I drove home while he followed me, and it looses power and when you rev it up it cuts out.


I got a new fuel pump, replaced the spark plugs and spark plug wires, cleaned out the catalytic converter.. Anyone know what the problem could be?

It's a 1993 2.3 LX

I'm not up on 2.3's (you have dual plugs and crap like that IIRC) but I would consider having the ignition module repeatedly bench tested at the parts store.

Good luck.

Agreed on both posts. I would first replace the ignition module. If that doesn't do it, check to make sure your timing belt has not jumped.
