SOURCE: 91 Accord Car will initially start then when

I have a 1991 honda accord dx that had the same problem. while driving it would just completely shut down. after about 5 minutes it start and run for a while then shut down again getting more frequently. There was a recall on the ignition control module (ignitor) which is in the distributor. call your local honda dealer with your vin # and will tell you if yours was replaced. If not I bought one from parts store for $60 or you could take a chance and buy one from a junk yard. I bought the whole distributor for $20 as a back up.

SOURCE: my car started dying and now hasnt enough charge to start

sound like bad battery cables.replace them.the positive battery cable is old and have a lot of resistance not allowing power to the alternator to charge battery.if battery cable good check alternator connector wires.make sure they are not damage also check alternator fuse and fuse link.turn off radio before removing battery wires so you wont lose radio code.

How does injector drive work ?

Prado?
did you mean
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado no year told (1985 to now 2022+) vast years made!!!!
no engine told ,not even gas (petrol) or diesel (28 total) OMG lots.!
engine size not told so there is no answer possible.
on Petrol the ECU/PCM modulates injectors.
diesel is many answers for 37 years, may diesel pumps or diesel ECU.

I have Toyota prado 2012 I was driving and the engine went off try to start it and goes off again, I realized it was smoking seriously not knowing there is diesel going into oil

Too much fuel makes a diesel increase RPM, not die.As long as the engine has compression the only way to kill a diesel is to stop the fuel supply.
