After about 30-40 min the car will start right back up, but there is no telling how long it will be before it shuts off again. It doesnt matter weather she is driving it or if its at a standstill it will just shut off to the point where there is no power at all. We hooked up to an OBD1 reader and it threw no codes at all. We were told that it was the electronic control module, but we replaced it and it still does the same thing. So right now we are pretty much in a guessing game right now. If anyone has ANY info that they can share please let me know. Cause once its fixed this thing is FOR SALE!!
I didn't read this thread but mine did the exact same thing.
Try the DIS module on the side of the intake first - it takes 5 minutes to "install" (you need a 5.5mm socket.) If that doesn't work return it and get yourself a crank sensor. It's not too bad of a job to do if you've got some experience and confidence.
edit: Like fc said, the generic DISs are pretty crappy and you will likely have to special order a good one (no returns.) Try to find someone who will let you swap one or pray one hits a junkyard.

more work to get done that the two of us can do, looking at property to build our new facility in the next few years.
Where do I sign up? I'm sick of getting dicked by my dealership. Got 9 Toyota certs and 2 ASEs but need more hands on experience.
