    When my 88 was doing that, it was the pip (just replaced the dizzy) and another time it was the connector to the TFI coming slightly loose (zip tie to hold the release clips down flat sorted that).

      If it just shuts off while driving that does sound like an electrical problem. Could be ignition related, but you might also have a crappy fuel pump relay or ECM relay. Have you ever tried whacking those relays with a screwdriver handle to see if it stumbles? Usually if the relays are sketchy, they'll act up with percussive diagnostic methods.

      Fuel problems tend to feel different, it will lose power and get weak before just shutting off. Electrical is usually more like you turned the key off.

        The other thing it could be... and I know you already replaced that too... is the ignition switch. Like gadget said... percussive diagnosis (tappy tap tap) will find that as well.

            So changed the egr vac solenoid and reconnected the green egr line seems to be running like it did when removing the line. No studdering or truning of at ideal. Cleared codes again and rechecked
            94
            44
            And 13
            Cel is still on i hope the solenoid will fix my stalling issue

              Did you ever check curb idle?
              Also could the IAC be bad or not getting signal?

                what does it show for stored codes? Check with the engine not running.

                13 usually means it won't idle down far enough. Could be the throttle stop is too far open, or if its an HO throttle body, it has too large of an air bleed hole. Unplug the IAC and see what it idles at. If its over about 500 rpm and the TPS is in range, try putting your finger over the hole in the throttle body plate. If it idles down, plug the hole and see if the code 13 clears. Duct tape will serve for quick and dirty test purposes.

                  I reset it so only thing that came up was 11 I think that system okay right but I’ll check again when i get out. So i took it to work today and it didn’t turn of not once. Im hoping it was that. it does have the ho tb and ho intake
                  Jaywish also not sure of what u mean bye check curb idle how is that done. Car doesn’t have a tach which it need one. After I figure this stuff out. Ima get some guages
                  Tach
                  Voltage
                  Coolant temp
                  oil pressure guages.
                  But I don’t want a huge tach I want something small that fits on the a pillar like a 2 1/16”

                    Gadget explained that a bit. Curb idle means the base idle without any modifiers like the old high idle cam or the IAC. Just the throttle sitting open on the base idle screw.

                        This won't help with that.

                        Can you restart it immediately ?

                          Yeah i put it in neutral and turn on sometimes it takes 2 key turns sometimes just one time. Or sometimes i exit freeway then come to stop and turn on. But it always turns on.

                            So I checked for code again key on engine off 11 10 18 and 22 pop up in that order
                            Key on engine running
                            21
                            94
                            44
                            So if 94 and 44 are smog pump I guess I have to look up the other codes then

                                Sweet. Nice find on the pedal bezels. It is a nice subtle touch.
