Subject: Re: Car cuts off while driving by nbergma on 2012/11/21 22:08:10 I have a 1994 Corvette (not the ZR1) with LT1 engine that's been doing the same thing for about a month now. The engine just cuts out completely periodically. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. * Sometimes cuts out within a minute or two of starting it. * Sometimes runs great for a half hour or more and then the engine cuts out. * Sometimes cuts out while idling. * Sometimes cuts out while driving down the road at speed (even at 70 mph on the freeway) Usually if I put the car in neutral and wait a few seconds and then turn the key back to Start, it will start back up. Other times I have to wait 20 or 30 seconds or longer (sometimes a minute or two) before it will start back up. On those occasions when it won't start back up the engine turns over just fine but it won't start until I let it sit off a while longer. When it's running it has good power and runs nice and smooth. When the engine cuts out the electrical is all still working fine -- my digital speedometer remains on, all power and accessories still work -- but the engine is dead. I just replaced the ignition control module and the ignition coil. That did not resolve the problem but now my Service Soon lamp on the center console is lit a lot of the time. Does anyone have any other ideas about what the problem might be? |
