Hey Everyone..Looking for your help once again. Iam having an issue with the car shutting down while Iam driving. Here are the symptoms... Car runs great until I get about 30 or so miles on it then it just shuts off. It will usually shut down for a second and then come right back on and then in a mile or so it will shut down completely. I can crank on it, sometimes it will start and sometimes it wont until I let it sit for a few seconds to a few minutes. when it shuts down it completely dies, there is no sputtering or anything like that. I just replaced the igniton module and it did it again to me this morning. Like I said it runs fine until I get some miles on it then it starts acting up. The only ignition upgrade I have is an MSD Blaster TFI coil that has been on the car for a few months now. Could it be going bad?? I still have the original.

Car is a 94 5.0 5 spd..87000 miles..basically stock except for cold air, pulleys, throttle body and 4:10 gears.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Be safe
Mike

Check inside the distributor. If you see fine metal shavings or gray dust, your PIP is definitely out.
