crank position sensor ... seen one that was causing it to not fire in the right time
I've had an ASD that was high resistance that allowed spark just not enough to run

oh the term for crank sensor is CKP that's what had me messed up. I find that when a cam sensor acts up on these cars, they start when it's cold but when they get hot they quit but yet still have spark but the spark signal is all out of whack with the piston position.

when a guy has an aftermarket stereo system installed, poorly, you get a dead short which fries the electrical system
