Hey guys, I've been having this problem with my '91 240sx. i would drive her for a good 30-mins and then she'll randomly just die just like you stalled or took out the key and if you tired turning her on, she would turn over but not generate spark. I've read other threads online but the solutions i read didn't fix her sadly

. What I've done to "fix" my baby is that I've replaced the dizzy, new spark plug wire, new ignition coil, and clean out the maf sensor. some ways i like "fix" the problem is by restarting the ECU or swapping out the ignition coil and she'll turn on like nothing was ever wrong but die again later on. what the heck is the problem?! i want my baby up and running!

Next time the car dies, check resistance on the coolant temperature sensor. Should be around 0.26 to 0.30 kOhms. If its lower either the car is overheating or the sensor is bad giving out a false reading. Something is getting too hot and causing the car to die.
