I have a white 1993 626 with just over 60,000 original miles on it. It has a problem acting like its not getting fuel or spark. No matter the driving condition. Highway, in town doesnt matter. Its not over heating. And after just 5-6 mins it will start right back up and go another 30 mins. The obd says miss fire in the coil. Its been replaced twice. The exhaust recently broke and as soon as it did, it had the same issue and died. 5 mins later it was running. (Louder then a MFer) but running. It also has a small issue when stopped the idle with drop and act like its gonna

You will need to start with basics. battery terminals clean
and tight. fuel pressure. You do have a code for a misfire.
try doing a power balance test. for the low idle try tapping
on your IAC with the handle of a screw driver to see if the
idle changes. if it does replace the IAC does the car have a
fuel filter? might need changinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAOmUjAj … plpp_video
Batterys fine. No code. I changed the fuel filter right after buying. but after driving below 1/4 tank it started started again. I plan on dropping the tank and cleaning and replacing pump, filter Ect…
You asked about vacuum leaks which is a real possibility, here’s a link to a video I did on the topic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CPqbaSgcok+Ive got an update. I drove the car yesterday. I drove it down to 1/4 of a tank. After about 45 mins it died. i let it sit for about 10mins while i looked at another car. I got back in and drove it 10mins and it died again. This leads me to believe theres some in fuel delivery. I had plans on dropping the tank any way. Do you think there’s something in the tank? Or a fault part?
Thanks for all the help.
You need to find what’s missing when the car stops running. I wouldn’t go through all the trouble of dropping a fuel tank unless theres a good reason to do it.
Check for spark and fuel first. A quick way to check for lack of fuel is just spray some starting fluid in the intake and see if it starts. For spark, just pull a plug and see if there’s spark during cranking.If you suspect a problem with fuel pressure hook up a fuel pressure gauge and tape it to the windshield as you drive around and monitor the pressure when the condition occurs, if it drops off when it stalls then you know you have a problem with fuel delivery. Keep in mind it could also be a spark issue as electronic components often fail when they get hot, ignition coils are no exception.
I have ANOTHER update. Filled the car back up to almost full. Drove it ten mins. Died. Took me 45 mins to drive 3 miles. I let it sit for ten mins betweens deaths. Leads me to believe fuel cause it started RIGHT after i got down to 1/4 tank. So my next move is going to be changing the in-line filter and dropping the tank and cleaning it out.
-ThanksI know this is an old topic but I’ve been unable to log into the forums for the longest time. JnLRacing, the 626/MX-6/Probe’s biggest issue is the distributor failing. Symptoms will show up as the car dying, then letting it sit to cool will be able to start again. This is because the cam sensor inside the distributor gets heat soaked and stops reporting any value. Next time you have this no-start condition check for spark. It’s as simple as that. If you have spark then it’s probably a fuel pump or fuel pump regulator issue which aren’t as common as the distributor failing but do happen as with any vehicle.

next time it stalls.spray starter fluid down the intake
and see if it runs.If it does then I would suspect fuel issue.
as suggested put a fuel pressure gauge on it to confirm.next time it stalls.spray starter fluid down the intake

as suggested put a fuel pressure gauge on it to confirm.If you suspect a fuel issue check the fuel pressure. In fact I’ve driven around with a fuel pressure gauge taped to the windshield for just that very reason. This way you will be able to see if a loss of fuel pressure is causing your stalling problem.
