I need help. I was warming my car up when it all of the sudden just died. I tried to turn it back on but did not want to. Engine would turn over, it wanted to start but would not stay on. I tried back an hour later it started back up again. I was driving and in the middle of the intersection died again, and would not start back up, did the same thing engine would turn but would not stay on. I was told it could be the ignition module. If you have any comment please let me know Thanks.

I had the exact same problem. It certainly sounds like the ignition module/coil. I would stall in intersections, sometimes the car wouldn't start afterwards. Then an hour or two later it would be fine. Everything was so rusted it finally just gave out. Once I replaced the module and coil everything was fine.

Thanks for the help. I did replace that and it works just fine.
