I'm not real familiar with your year (96), but when mine (93) did the same thing, it was the ignition module in the distributor.

Basically, you remove the Distributor cap and rotor, and the module is mounted on the inside bottom of the distributor with two screws.

CAREFULLY (the plastic connectors tend to get very brittle) unplug all of the wiring harness connectorsfrom the module, and remove the two screws. Take the module to Auto Zone or your parts store. They can usually test it before selling you a new one. What is happening is your module is crapping out when it gets hot and runs fine when it cools off.

If you do need a new module, they're about $35.00 USD.

DO NOT let the parts counter guys tell you that ignition modules either work or they don't or that heat doesn't affect them. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO OF THESE STUPID THINGS BECAUSE OF INTERMITTENT STALLING.

Actually your 93 and late 95-current distributors use a completely different setup... Instead of an ignition module they use a reluctor and crank sensor... That said...I would look at a full tune up, then the cat converter..

At the point it stalls, turn the ignition off, wait a couple of seconds, and turn the ignition to the on position, does your pump prime?

So are you saying that my 93 doesn't have an ignition module? O.K. but I wonder what I replaced twice that is mounted in the bottom of my distributor??? Is that what you call a reluctor?

The Guys at AutoZone called it an Ignition Module when they sold it to me, but we all know how they are.

No, I'm saying the 93 and late 95-current are different.,.. Yes, the 93 uses and ignition module, the late 95-current don't...He has a 96.. The reluctor is on the crank.,.. It's essentially a timing ring for the crank sensor.
