Electrical problem
1989 Dodge Caravan 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I can get the vehical to start at times and it will run until i shut it off. At first it would drive and the engine would die and then it would run fine for a while and then not start. I replaced the distributer, coil, cap, rotor and Engine computer. No such luck, i was told it may be the wiring harness has a short, also was told that the oil pressure switch may be bad.
Like I said it gets fuel but no spark....

Did you replace the distributor pick-up.
It would shut the engine off, if you grabbed its wire and moved it.A small window moves through the hall effect it loosens causing shutoffs. You can peen down the 4 plastic hold downs, or replace the whole distributor, i hope that may be it.
