Shutting down problem
I have a 93 coupe. While out on a ride (80 miles from home) I shut the car off for about 15 mins. The car would not start when I retured to it. When it did finally start, it ran for 10 miles and quit again. This continued until I got pissed enough to leave it, get a ride home, and return with a trailer the next day. The car fired right up and drove onto the trailer, but quit again in the yard at home. It has 165,000 miles on it, and I have never had trouble with starting, or running before. Ideas? Module? I replaced the coil, no change.

Sounds exactly like a bad ICM. The ICM gets hot and quits working, cools off and is fine until it heats up again. The ICM (ignition control module) is located on the front of the passenger side head by the coil.
