93 sho engine shuts off

[bobslavik0718]

Hi;
I have a '93 SHO, five speed. I purchased it new from Kearny Mesa Ford here in San Diego. I have a recurring problem. The engine stops and won't restart for a few minutes. I am hoping someone else had this problem and knows the fix. We have tried replacing different sensors and lots of other things, too numerous to list. If anyone has any ideas, Help.

the first thing to do is always to pull codes to see what the pcm is telling you. (you don't need a code reader, just the ability to a) count or b) make a video and post it so we can count for you.)

the symptoms are typical of a crank sensor that is going bad, but there are other possibilities, which is why the codes are helpful.

Use the link to pull codes and report back. I just had the crank position sensor changed on my 92 after first the 211 code showed up months ago. I was only driving the car short distances around town until if finally wouldn't go more than a couple of miles before shutting off

CKS, fuel pump, loose ground, there could be a plethora of causes. Check the codes, and if nothing is obvious, check the fuel pressure after it stalls again, check spark, battery cables and then on from there.

Some of this has already been tried, but some hasn't. Thanks, and keep the thoughts coming. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi, welcome to the forum. You should post that in the introductions forum so more people will see it.

You should make a separate post on the butterflies being welded open. I'm curious as to what that does.

But are the cams welded? Welcome to SHOforum, put up some pics of these bad boys (in your own intro thread of course)!

Yes the cams are welded. I have been trying to figure this app out and am apparently not making progress on figuring it out. How would I post in the introduction part?
