I have a 1990 Olds. Delta 88 Royale Brouham 3.8 v-6 Auto.Trans. A/C .....
We are getting a code 42 intermittenly, and the engine dies, the car will restart with the check engine light on, limp in mode. :banghead:
When we restart the engine check eng. light goes out, for a while driving then the engine will go dead again after about 15 mins. of driving. With the code 42, no other codes.
Crank shaft senor . Cam shaft sensor and magnet are ok, recently changed, and a new knock sensor. We suspect ignitions control module , because no other codes show up.
Such as crank shaft, cam shaft, or other sensors. Are we correct in assuming this at this pont ? Thank you for any help... Karen Froglover

Welcome to AF. Could be, no spark I assume? Check the wires to the icm harness they were troublesome, if ok AZ/ NAPA can test this for you.
