engine dies and won't restart

[robogo]

The car is a '94 1.0 liter with auto transmission. The engine dies
without warning and will not restart 'til it has "rested" for almost
an hour. The days have been very hot and I suspect a heat related
ignition problem. All new spark system wires. Could it be a defective
coil? Starter cranks ok.

Any ideas?
Thanks

i would suspect ignition module. next time it dies pull coil wire out of cap and put it about 1/4" from metal and have someone crank it while you see if there is any spark

several days later.................same problem. Spark for a moment and
then none thereafter. I replaced the coil/igniter and pickup module
with no success! This car has the "upgraded emissions" package or
electronic spark control distributor. Fuel pump?? It runs for several
moments if I "prime" the carb.
Thanks for any info.

I too may be facing a fuel pump problem -- on another post someone checked the connector from the pump and found it to be corroded -- I guess he fixed that and it worked -- Do a search on this forum for fuel pump and you can find it

BTW where did you find a fuel pump for $113?

Thanks, I'll act on your advice (as you could tell I was very frustrated).
BTW..........Google O'Reilly auto parts. I also found a salvaged pump for
$50.00

8 days later......... as it turns out the major problem was
a broken/defective electrical connector on the fuel pump
itself (I blame it on the incompetent tinkerer that last
owned the car)........thanks Crvett69
