1990 Ceverolete Celebrity 3.1 v6

Will it keep running if starter fluid is sprayed into a vac hose when it's started? If not it's a spark problem.
If it does keep running then it is lacking fuel.
Remember,the fuel pump runs off power from the oil pressure switch once you use up the fuel from the "prime cycle" when you first turn the key on.

Firing order wrong!

Check firing order!

My Vauxhall (Opel) Zafira 2004 1.8 liter 16V Petrol Auto
had COLD START problem; cold engine does not start no
matter what! I have changed the following parts, one after
another:
1. New Coil pack
2. New Spark plugs
3. New Battery
4. New Mass Air flow oxygen meter
5. Air filter
6. Oil filter
7. Engine oil
8. Fuel filter
9. Premium Petrol
10. Engine coolent water sensor
Still the same problem. Then changed 'Crank sensor'. And
now the car starts fine without any issue!!

Did you have it to a qualified repair shop ?

Sounds like something getting warm/hot as engine warms up. Could be the MAP sensor, Coil/Coil pack, Ignition Switch(not the key cylinder), or possibly the Oxygen Sensor.

Next time it does this, pull a plug wire out of the coil pack and hold it close to the tower, and have someone crank the engine to see if your still getting a spark.
Could also be a loose connector on the throttle body injection, or a broken wire.

You've already eliminated the spark plug & wireset, distributor cap & rotor.
Sounds like your car needs a tune-up, specifically, the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve, and/of the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve.

Components checked/replaced during a tune-up are:
air filter
motor oil
motor oil filter
breather filter
fuel filter(s)
fuel strainer
PCV valve
EGR valve
spark plugs
spark plug wires
ECM or distributor cap & rotor
cabin air filter
transmission oil filter
transmission oil
engine coolant
check all vacuum hoses and lines

Troubleshooting the no-start condition - from the 1990 Mitsu Mighty Max Repair Manual:

Priority Action Part Type -- Cause
1 Inspect Battery -- Battery Discharged or Faulty.
2 Inspect Battery Cable -- Corroded, Broken, Shorted or Poorly Connected Battery Cable.
3 Inspect Distributor Cap -- Distributor Cap Cracked or Burned.
3 Inspect Fuel Filter -- Clogged or Dirty Fuel Filter.
5 Inspect Ignition Coil -- Faulty Ignition Coil.
6 Inspect Wireset -- Worn, Damaged or Faulty Spark Plug Wire(s).
7 Inspect Spark Plug -- Incorrectly Gapped or Fouled Spark Plug(s).
8 Inspect Starter -- Starter Motor Faulty.
9 Inspect Fuel Pump -- Low Fuel Pressure.
10 Inspect Solenoid Switch -- Faulty Starter Solenoid Switch.
11 Inspect Fuel Pump Relay -- Faulty Fuel Pump Relay.
12 Inspect Fuel Injector Pressure Regulator -- Faulty Fuel Injector Pressure Regulator.
13 Inspect Ignition Switch -- Improperly Connected or Faulty Ignition Switch.
14 Inspect Starter Drive -- Faulty Starter Drive.
15 Inspect Fuel Injector -- Dirty or Worn Fuel Injectors.
16 Inspect Fuel Pump Strainer -- Clogged or Dirty Fuel Pump Strainerat.
17 Inspect Engine Control Computer -- Incorrect Operating Information Being Delivered and Sent From The EEC.
18 Inspect Fuel Tank -- Fuel Tank Empty.
19 Inspect Carburetor -- Carburetor Flooded or Faulty Choke.
20 Inspect Distributor -- Worn, Loose, or Incorrectly Installed Distributor.

If you have no spark, have it scanned to see if you have an rpm reading. If not, the the crankshaft sensor would be the most likely culprit.

i had that same problem with mine. i replaced my thermostat and that still didn't help. but then i replaced my radiator cap and after that it stopped overheating. im pretty sure thats what did it for me. i hope that helps.

check coil or modulator! good luck
