Talking Outcme = solutions found

It is =FIXED! The solutions are = Initially - car starts & drives fine after purchased. BUT!! = It would die -like the key was shou off! Initally =I changed the crankshaft sensor. There were NEVER any codes shown!! After changing that sensor- problem still existed as same. After that I changed a emc (engine computer) with a same year -used unit. I did have to learn how to sync the emc to the body computer on this car-takes only around 30 mins. Then started car & runs as new -great -no codes -no falts & runs as properly should!!Thanx to all who help me on this fix & educating me on all. great group!!

Glad to hear!. Not the solution I expected but that's irrelevant. Main PCM/ECM yes?

Oh, let me guess---the PCM /ECM is under the hood on that vehicle. That would explain the engine temperature related behavior...

Yes was pcm (ecm)yet as there are 2 on this car - was the engine computer=not body computer- - darn small box on lower drivers side of block! I have used a site in past called = Car-part.com its a national web site for all salvage yards! I found a ecm from same yaer car for $60.00 + 15 shipped to me from maybe 400 miles away! with a 6 month guarentee! Beats dealer price of $1500.00m+ install !! Thanx to all that helped. I have had 2 cars in past that would NOT toss any codes!! usually can be Crank shaft sensor -yet can also be pcm's!

Heres the fix!! Since - there were never any Codes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I replaced the Crank sensor!! Engine did exactly the same - dies after warming & driveing only 3-5 miles! will restart =usually always -yet dies again =shortly after starting & driveing!! Now- since I did have another car that did samje as this one -long ago!! I purchased a used ecm-engine computer! installed it & that = totally solved the problem!! Again- there were never any codes . Live data showed all good when running too!! Darm ecm's!! $60.00 bux & its fixed!!
