Hmm, check the ingnition switch. Could be getting wore out, and if not in the right place it won't start.

Is there any amount of time it does this in? Like get to a certain temp or run for x amount of time?

More than likely the cause if you are sure it is losing fire.

And you are sure it is spark? I had a similar problem years ago, turned out it was my fuel pump getting hot.

i got this little light that you plug in to one of the wires and it turns on when it gives spark so i put it on and it works till it turns off (due to the problem) then i try to crank it up again and there is no more spark(the light thats supose to flash due to spark wont flash any more).

at first i thought it was the fuelpumb but i hear it turn on, and i check the fuel pressure and its good.

my 94 used to do that from time to time. i would be driving down the road and then it just shut off and wouldn't start back up for a few mins. I kept flushing out the fuel filter thinking that was it, but it would still do it. ONce i got a new distributor it never did it again.

the only way i can run it now is without the plug that goes in the distributer wire(i think its called the spot or spout conecter). a couple of guys have checked it out and they said it was my computer, so i changed got a rebuilt one in discount auto parts, put it in and everything worked fine for like two weeks and the same problem started, so i chaged it again and the same thing happend but in a two day period. what can it be, can something be fucking up my computer. any info would be much apreciated.

Check all of your grounds and computer connections for corrosion. Check your charging system and make sure the alt. is not spiking the system with high voltage.
