Car was running great. On the road it died. Restarted several times and would die, almost like running out of fuel except for a lot of relay noise. No engine check light. Analyser indicates computer is communicating and all sensors functional. Fuel pressure good. Purchased a distributer from Auto Zone and installed. New crank sensor installed. Manual spark test off of distributor high tension post to ground is very weak. Need some input!!

Sounds to me like ur ignitor might be going out. Pretty much an ignition module just different name. Problem is there is really no way of checking ur ignitor to see if its bad. One rule of thumb i have always heard for checking an ignitor to see if its bad is take a hammer to it, if it breaks its bad! So in other words there is no way to check it. If you can somehow get a hold of one like a junkyard it will be a lot cheaper. If it doesn't work then try to check the resistance on ur coil. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. Problem solved. Ground wires from computer for affected circuits were open. Reestablished good ground and she fired up and runs like it should.
