A little background:
The first sign of trouble was a week or so before the vehicle finally died. It cut out on me a few times while idling at a red light. It fired right back up when I turned the key and started it again. This only happened a few times.
Than the other day I started driving and it just stopped. Fortunately, I was only a couple blocks from the house. The battery is in good condition. The starter still engages and cranks the engine.
I used an OBD2 Diagnostic Tool, but did not see any DTC's or Freeze Frame Data.
I sprayed a little ether in the airbox to see if it was a fuel problem. Still nothing happening when cranking the engine.
I checked the fuse for the spark coil unit and found it to be in good condition.
Figured I would get some expert advice from all the great minds on this forum before delving further into the issue.
My instincts tell me the spark module is bad. But i do not want to just start swapping out parts.
TIA
