it could be the ecm or an open or shorted estsignal wire white wire from ecm to ignition module
1993 3.3L V6 (6-204) - Solved intermittent "Code 42 - electronic spark timing" issue by replacing Mass Air Flow sensor, after checking all wires in harness (and replacing some) between the ECM and ICM, checking all connections, and replacing all the other sensors. All work prior to replacing MAF sensor improved performance but did NOT solve intermittent Code 42 problem. Never got a "MAF sensor" Code 34.
Most likely the ignition module.
sounds like your ignition module
If it stalls at idle or when slowing down, it could be a fuel filter. Or it could be the ignition control module.
crank sensor is getting hot/ bad crank sensor
inside the steering column accepts the key but I believe the ignition module is a small unit above the carburetor - square and about 1/4 inch thick. when the car chugs and stalls or just does not start replce this module. It may fail intermittently and is often overlooked. Occurs at about 40 to 45,000 miles in my experience.
possibly your crankshaft sensor or ignition control module
If you can start the engine when cold, but it sputters and stalls when it's warm, then you most likely have a bad ICM. When you crank the engine, if you have tachometer movement, then the module is good, if there's no tach movement while cranking then the module is bad. The tachometer gets the signal from the module, so if the tach works, then the module is good.
There are several possible reasons why your car's engine stalls: 1. Failing ICM Ignition control module 2. Failing CPS crankshaft position sensor 3. Failing ECM engine control module 4. Not enough fuel pressure to open the fuel injectors
My 2000 Sonoma did the same thing. When the computer was plugged into it it showed no problems. Finally after several stalls the computer finally showed the accelerator position module was bad. I replaced that and no more in traffic stalls.
possibly your MAF sensor, fuel pump, ignition control module, so many more, I own one and these cars are very tempermental
check the crank position sensor may have low signal strengthAnswer 2A clogged air filter will cause an engine not to start when it is hot - you might want to check it out.Answer 3Check the fuel pressure when it stalls, could be a fuel pump.
Sounds like the ignition module located under thecoil pack is breaking down from heat.
