Turn on turns off

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

I can start my 1991 sho but after about 15 min of driving it turns off suddenly and then i have to wait about 20 mins to start it again, but now i have to jump start it even though the battery is good. i already checked the alternator. any ideas.

Ummm have looked at your Water Pump for sepage? It might be leaking on your CPS causing it to do what you are posting about.

 

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

No leaks

 

[Vnuk1]

Ummm checked your codes??

 

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

No i have not but i dont see a check engine light

 

[Vnuk1]

Just because you have no Check Engine light does not mean you do not have codes..
Go >>HERE<< to check your codes....

Im having trouble finding the cables where it plugs into. I dont have the same looking cables. i have a brown cable would that work?

 

[Vnuk1]

Ahhh I'm not sure I don't have a Gen 1... I assume they should be the same...

 

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

i figured it out it looks like 22

 

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

I think i have more than one code or does the same code replay again?

 

[1993MTXSHO]

codes are repeated twice

EDIT: well repeated once, so show up 2 times is what I am getting at haha

Right now when i tried to start it, to park it in its place i was cranking it and even without the key in the ignition, it was still cranking for a few seconds. i could not get the car on even by jumpstarting it.

sounds like you need a new starter solenoid

 

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

where is that starter solenoid located, and would that also cause the car to turn off after 15 min?

Not necessarily but the solenoid for the starter should be on the drivers side fender by the strut mount. It looks like a little black square box kind with little terminals sticking out of it. The other issue sounds like a bad crank sensor to me.

 

[TheBlueOvalSHO]

so where is the crank sensor located?

 

[Vnuk1]

Below the Water Pump in the right wheel well.

So i have been putting this of since i was using my bros car but since he wants his car back so i have to fix the sho, so i checked autozone to see how it looks and it looks just like cables i am still having problems locating it does anyone have pictures or a manual on how to replace it (its a 91 sho)?

Currently i get no spark to a brand new coil. is this a possible symptom of a bad cam sensor or crank sensor? or both?
