my corsica is not staying running after igniton. I Have been told that it was or could be an ingition modual had it tested and there is no problems battery died replaced battery, and also replaced crank shaft sensor, plus spark plugs, this has been an ongoing problem it used to run and then die right in the middle and then restart to then it would run and after you would drive it it was like it had to cool off for some hours before it started again. I was told it was also a fuel issue when this first started so I replaced the fuel pump. That was about 3 months ago. A few days ago we got no spark the battery died now we are getting spark new battery and now it wont hold it acts at times that it wants to start but then it wont hold HELP we need to get the car running as fast as we can I need ideas

Best option out of this situation is to scan the vehicle. You may have a sensor that is out of spec. Scanning the system will lead you to the right direction.
Good Luck.

i have a coulple ideas... some may sound stupid but it wont hurt to try it. one, check to see if your fuel injection fuse is blown. if it is replace it. two, check you air filter and intake, when you step on the gas it opens up your intake, and if your intake or filter are clogged the engine will stall after hitting the throttle. three, either have some one do this for you or you can do it yourself... check your fuel injectors. if they are coroded they wont shoot enought fuel causing it to stall. if they are bad you can clean them with a high pressure air pump or replace them with new ones.. well those r the only things i can think of right now. i would recomend purchasing a hanes book on your corsica and read the trouble shooting. i will check mine and get back to you if i get ne more ideas. :biggrin:
