i suspect a bad coil, as it heats up opens up shuts off spark,but will crank right back up,replaced a ton of coils for that old a ranger.Also make sure the heater valve is not leaking in off position,run into alot of them that in off position squirt antifreeze directly on coil,killing it.Check fuel filter,fuel pump,spark plug wires, and electrically chek alternator.

My 90 lesabre did the same thing. When it cut off after driving I sprayed water on the crank sensor and it started right back up. A buick mechanic told me to do this and this is how I found out the crank sensor was bad!

How do you remove the window crank on your 89 Honda Civic?

Well, to answer my own question... :-) There is a "U" shaped clasp that you pull off the crank right behind the handle. Very simple! Then.. when putting the window crank back on, just put the clasp on the handle, then push it on the crank! It'll click right in. Happy Fixin'!
