92 Lumina won't stay started!

My 1992 lumina alwayz stalls after 2 minutes of driving or less. Then it will not restart again until several hours later. (There is no spark.) I've replaced the ECM, ICM and crank position sensor already. Still no good. Not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions???

My suggestion is the ignition module, located on the underside of the egnine. Replace the crank position sensor at the same time. Though I cannot determine a cause without troubleshooting, this is likely the cause of your problem. Ray

He already replaced both of those...as he stated in his first post.

Have you checked your plugs and coils? Check the fuel pressure to make sure that is good. That's all I can think of right now.

The ignition module is towards the bottom of the front side of the engine...underneath the front exhaust manifold. It has all the coil packs mounted to it.

It's a pain to get out, and it's a good idea to remember where all the plug wires go.

I had this same issue and found that there was some bare wires on the position sensor harness. The wires had oil on them and shorting out.
