Thread: Intermittent no start/stall

Hey guys, I am having a issue and have recieved great help on this forum before so I thought I would ask anyway...
I have a 1998 oldsmobile 88 3800 that will start when cold but dies soon after and wont start for a a undetermined amount of time after. I have constant fuel pressure but no spark when this happens. I have verified power to the ignition module and checked the signal from the crank shaft position sensor (the issue is intermittent) but tests fine repeatedly. I replaced the Ignition module with a used one and have the same issue. Any help is apreciated

Also there are no codes present or security light on

check the tachometer while your cranking in the no start condition, if it is moving I would ignore crankshaft position sensor for sure. I
had similar problem off and on for over a year, twice i replaced ECM and it seem to fix it for 4-9 months. Last thing I did was clean the grounding lug that comes out of the ECM wire harness and was behind a bracket near water pump. so far so good.
Also, every time mine would stall and not re-start, if i just removed and replaced the electrical connector to ECM it would fire right up. did that in traffic more than once.

okay, I used wrong letters, it the ignition control module, with coils on it, that I replaced. and found grounding lug in wiring harness near water pump

oh yeah, crank position sensor was first thing i changed on first stall no restart. that is still a high probability for you.
