1989 Park Avenue dying after 60 miles, restart immediately then

89 park avenue would die after around 60 miles, restart immediately then die again after just about 4 to10 miles, restart and then repeat the 4 to 10 mile thing. Then started hard starting...crank and crank, some backfire, then last week no start with backfire (was cold during the no start)...warmed up yesterday and started right up with no issues at all..tried all day and kept starting with no problems. Turned cold overnight and tried this morning and started right up again, no issues. Had been thinking the fuel pump going out...but now with no issues, was wondering...vehicle did show a code prior to all this of either crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor or ignition module. Help!!!

Sounds like the ignition module but it could be a fuel problem

My 1990 Buick Park Avenue dies after 15 miles

Replace the crank sensor as they get hot they will sometimes quit working. The temp light comes on everytime the engine is turned off and the switch is on. Next time it dies spray or pour some water on the sensor then see if it will crank and if it does you know what it is.
