So I have a 91 240sx and im having issuse that it turns off after running it for like 30 minutes, I have replaced the distributor (2x), the coil, the ignitor, coolant temp sensor and switch, the egi relay, fuel pump, that resister capasiter thing on the harness by the ignitor, put all new fuses in the entire car, cleaned up all my grounds on the engine harness, bypassed my nutrual safety switch, and finally got a new computer and still it has no spark or injector pulse. But if I leave the car sitting long enough its starts right up for like 30 minutes or so. Please help im at a stale mate right now and not sure what to do to fix it.

I had my friend from brake masters running diagnostics for 3days straight and they cant find anything else wrong either and the first thing I bought was a multimeter. Haha.

Find someone with a scope and a FSM and follow the procedures on testing the injectors.
