Back again with another 3.1L stall issue..
Wednesday, December 14, 2011 3:29 PM

Quick run down.. 1990 3.1L Z24 with 3 speed auto trans.

Starts up fine. Runs for maybe 8-10 minutes before stalling out in park. Will not restart for another 10-15 minutes.. then it's fine again. No codes are being thrown. Checked IAC and IAC housing. They are clean as a whistle. Unsure where to go from here..

Not saying it is not a fuel pump or relay BUT sounds more like a ignition module or coil going south.Just check your psi for the pump(41-47psi) if solid pump good,relay you could replace but,I am leaning more towards what I suggested.Just a thought before I myself run out of gas after working all day.

Thanks guys!

I let her stall the other day and had someone crank it over while I held a plug wire.. No spark was created so I ordered an ICM.. Should be here soon and I will update this!

I sure hope my suggestion works out for a nice running J soon for you.

ICM sounds like it will do the trick.

Definitely sounds like a faulty coil.



On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.

Replaced the ICM and issue happened again.

Pulled remote start module and problem is solved

I should have pulled the remote start right off the bat! Oh well. It's solved!

Note to self (and others): pull the aftermarket BS when diagnosing a car. :-)
