1996 sunfire starts and dies

[fritz314]

I have a 1996 2.4 liter manual trans sunfire. Problem is that it starts and dies. I have replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, plugs, ing coil pack, ign module, timing chain, plugs, ecm, map sensor, throttle position sensor, cam sensor, crank sensor, and the throttle body. The car still won't stay running any other ideas I'm about out of money and paitence for this car.

Is your security light staying on or flashing?

The security light doesn't come one. I finally replaced the exhaust system It had a clogged catalytic converter.

So that solved the problem?? I replaced the catalytic converter on mine and it is still stalling. I posted a thread on this in hopes of getting help - I know how you feel about pouring all of this $$$ in and losing patience.

The wiring harness is very vulnerable to damage on these cars as it runs under the radiator support. if the plastic guard by the right hand computer breaks wires can be cut and scraped and can cause all sorts of head aches including an erractic fuel pump
