My Mate has an EL Fairmont, and lately it's been dying about 5-10 minutes after running. Once it's died, it has trouble starting for about an hour or two, and once it re-starts, will die shortly after.
At first, we thought it was the TFI, so we replaced that, along with the coil and the little sensor thats underneath the coil, but it still dies. The car starts when its cooled down, but once it warms up again, it dies even with the new parts. When it's died, and we try to start it again, the engine cranks, but doesn't kick over. Any ideas? |

i would have said the TFI, and coil would have been it for sure. Hows the coil to dissy lead? Rotor? (clutching straws)

I will almost say for sure it is the ignition module on the dizzy...
I had the same problem a while back. A new module is about $40....
