First try pulling codes, even if not active there will be history codes. Just need to use the paper clip method.
you have a 93, could be numerous things, but sounds potentially heat related....
Any other symptoms? Service engine light? Odd behavior/SYS message on lcd? Service ASR light coming in while driving? Security light on or flashing (while driving?)?

Didn’t you also post about service ASR coming up on your dash after driving for a while AND asked a question about SIA electronics?
if you are having other symptoms please put everything out of the ordinary here, even if you have written off as caused by something else.

those codes seem to point towards low voltage...maybe check your battery, make sure connections are clean and tight and check for bad grounds.
one of those codes points potentially at ICM I believe but again low voltage could do it too???
Ill let some others chime in.

Were there any symptoms or things going on the dash/SES light up to it dieing? After it died would it crank/turn over? Did you crank it until the battery was dead?

Ok - so for now I’d clear codes and start fresh a bunch are due to dead batt. Back to my first set of questions, were there any odd behaviors, SES light, sys on lcd, security light or service ASR light that came on or come on while driving?

OP: Your car has a computer, and if you aren't taking advantage of the plethora of data available by scanning it (or having it scanned if you don't have a scanner yet 
). It makes a world of difference - having the ability to plug in a scanner and get a complete picture of what is going on!

Checking fuel pressure just requires a gauge hooked to fuel rail so should be relatively straightforward.
Also you could do yourself a big favor by getting a factory service manual. Especially once you have a rough idea where to look it has troubleshooting steps baked right in (such as diagnosing fuel pump among others).

10-15 minutes at most is all that's needed... as to FSM you really need to find a 93 FSM, there were a lot of changes and for example a different ECM, sequential vs batch fuel injection, change to a vented opti among others in 94 vs 92/93. There are digital copies you can get relatively inexpensively.

today I have connected the battery and it start right away, did'nt have the time to take her for a spin, although I've noticed two things when I start the car the primary fan kicks in even if the engine is stone cold and it shut after a couples of minutes also my fuel gauge still read full with half a tank of gas. dont know if it's related with my engine stalling issues. Thanks guy.
