Hey guys my 96 1500 4x4 318 dies once it warms up no matter if im doin 60kmh or stopped, then it will start right back up ive checked and cleaned the TPS IAC and no plenum leak, it flashes the cam sensor code which i just replaced last month when i did a engine swap, and to my knowledge the engine wont run if the cam sensors gone will it? i ripped the cat out a long time ago and its ran fine without it. all the vacum lines are good. it just started acting up about a week after i put headers on it. iv done a fare bit of research but cant find any simular probs. any ideas? thanks for the help

 

Have you checked the fuel pressure with a gauge?

 

yup 42psi, ya think it could be the msd coil acting up?

 

Could be. Got the old one still? Actually the crank pos. sensor can cause this to happen.

 

it was the coil, she wont stall now. i wonder what the deal is there eh? i hear its a common problem with these aftermarket coils msd and accel. must be somthin with the computers. mine only lasted a month. pretty silly for $131.
thanks for the help again guys

 

My MSD replacement coil lasted ABOUT 3 months before it died all of a sudden. Got the stock one back on and no problems since then. It's been 4 years since this happened.

 

MSD is over rated

 

I had the same problem with an Accel.

 

MSD's quality has slipped severely in the last several years. The 6A box I have causes random misfires like a mother.

I think the same manufacturer makes the accel and MSD direct replacement coil, as they have the same part number stamped on them, just different colored housing.

 

well it ran fine yesterday i thought forsure it was the coil, this mornin on the way to the auto parts store it died again!!!. WTF so i threw in a new cam sensor and TPS, the CPS i replaced a month ago when i did the engine swap so i doubt its the prob. this is drivin me nuts
