My car is stalling after driving for a bit. It runs fine until that point. When it shuts off, it will not restart for about five minutes. I got an OBD1 error code 22. But my temp gauge always stays below 1/4 anyhow, so this may be an unrelated problem. Some suggestions have been a distributor ignition coil, fuel pump, etc. the list is endless. How can I narrow this down?

Do below and get back with some results

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

An intermittent problem is always a headache to deal with-when it happens don't wait do my suggestions immediately
