Why would a car stop running while driving and turn over and over but wont start?

Answer 1

Most of the time i have experienced this type of situation is caused by the spark control module. Usually it will do it after the motor gets warmed Up,then the spark control gets warm and expands internally and will quit working until it cools back down. That is why it seems funny that at one moment it works, then the next it quits. If the cars runs great when first started up and then suddenly quits after it warms up , then restarts after it sits for a few minutes and cools off, i would start with the spark control..Some times they can be tested at auto zone for free, if this is a reoccurring thing, the spark control module will only get worse until it quits working altogether,my advice is to replace the module if it is more than 8-10 years old...and you are having these kind of issues..Its allot better than being stranded in the middle of nowhere, and having a dishonest mechanic take advantage of the situation...
