Well fired up car today and took it for a ride.Everything was going smooth car running great let it get up to temp etc.Took down a back road to get my new gnx style dash all program for speedo etc.All good so i compare scanmaster reading to speedo within 1 mph.Go to accelerate and get a pop out of exhaust,then another pop so i slow down to like 10mph car shuts off. I am like wtf,pull over and stop.Get out check few things everything is conacted .Crank it over crank craNK crank no start.Key it up pump is running,so i pop hood .Have daughter crank it over with plug boot removed NO SPARK. So i call a buddy come get me with the trailer,get it home.Push off the trailer try it and it fires no problem...so my question is, where to start.Cuz i don';t want to drive it again and be in middle of nowhere again...
something weird going on...

Just leave it on the trailer and it'll always work fine.
Sounds like either a loose cam sensor "cup" or a crank sensor going away. Pull the cam sensor cap and try twisting the cup. If the screw is loose it'll turn, and usually break the little locator tab off. RJC makes a repair washer for this. The crank sensor may be a little loose and has contacted the interuptor ring on the balancer hurting it.
If those two parts are OK, then look at the ignition module. (well, don't just look at it, try another known good one. Just looking at it will usually do nothing. Not unless you have a rather menacing stare that scares it into submission. I never seem to have any luck with that, though.):biggrin:
