1991 Honda Accord 5spd approx.195,000.miles. 6 to 7 months ago - right after we had gotten it smogged -it started not starting until the little beeps you hear when you turn key on - stopped beeping - then you could continue to turn the key on -and it would start. We never exactly figured out what the problem was - we ended up replacing the ingnition control moduale. That seemed to solve the issue - until recently when it started to die while driving- no sputtering or coughing like fuel issue - just dies like if you had unplugged it- now it wont start again until the check engine light is off- it seems as though its the cooling down that allows the check engine light to be shut off then car starts which takes 10 to 15min.- If you take battery cable off to reset check engine light it will start again - at first it was awhile before it died again- Now its much more frequent- it will die again within a 1/2 mile of starting. We were able to read trouble codes- we had thought it was just code 15- which is the ignition control modual sensor -Auto zone tested it-it was good-so we replaced the coil- it died again the next time we drove it- that night it died a total of 5 times on a 10 to 12 mile trip going half that before dying to start with- it seems to happen more after we have driven aways and come to stop or slow way down-we checked trouble codes again 15 and 16- I think we missed code 16 the 1st time- 16 is fuel injection sensor- because it seemed to be vaporlocking to me we wrapped the metal fuel line going into injectors with electrical tape and did the suggested troubleshooting that indicated the ignitor is malfuntioning- we are going to test the ignitor again. From the reserch I've done this seems to be a fairly common problem- but I have not been able to get a clear picture of what parts to replace or ways to troubleshoot parts to test if they are working properly. Any ideas on what to do? My funding is not unlimited.

First I would say less than a $1000 would have repaired your original issues,assuming there were several. How was it running and did the current problem start after all the work was done? Also, what you invested in money and parts ,I hope went to fix different issues.

It sounds like you might have a clogged catalatic converter on the exhaust system.

Your engine computer is bad. It's a good thing that you mentioned about the check engine light dying also, as this is a classic sign of a bad ecm. I have repaired more than one of these Jeep computers, replacing the three power capacitors located inside the computer, and they have worked for years afterwards. If you don't have the skills or knowledge to repair the ecm, get yourself a rebuilt ecm unit and swap it out.

theres nothing wrong with the fuel pump..did you test the mass air floww sensor or have the egr valve replaced..it will save you trouble from keeping your 2002 nissan altima from dying out.
