Please read all the symptoms:
Great running 1990 Hyundai with fuel injection and an automatic transmission. I've had it since brand new, keep it tuned and oiled, etc.
Driving to work three weeks ago and *suddenly* it just died taking off from a red light. No warning and no gradual death, just died and I had to put it in neutral and coast to a side street.
No gasoline smell. Nothing disconnected from the distributor to the ignition coil. All wires look good.
Cranked great, plenty of juice to the coil and distributor cap, but *no* spark at all. So, I replaced the ignition coil, the connector to the distributor cap, the distributor cap itself.
Started right up.
Drove for two days, then it died *suddenly* again. Exact same symptoms. To make a long story short, it has happened inumerable times since then: runs for an hour or five minutes or half a day, and then
*suddenly* stops running, even though it cranks fine: *zero* spark. Again, it cranks fine, but no firing.Test for bad fuel pump by spraying starter fluid into the large hose from the air cleaner to the fuel receptacle: nothing. This tells me it's not the (new) fuel pump. Must be electrical, but where? Computer?
I'm hoping that anybody reading this will look at all the facts I'm posting before responding: cranks fast and furious.. but no spark. Then, after replacing the coil and wires (wire from coil to cap replaced three times) it'll start and run for a while. Why does it run for a while on a new cable then die again??
Help with this would be greatly appreciated as this is my only car (I'm poor). :O)
