Car turns over and starts runs for about 10 minutes whether driving or at idle. Car dies as though someone turned the key off. Car won't startfor hours after. It all started with my friend and I visiting another friend. Car ran fine there and after about an hour there came out to leave and car cranked over but would not start. I've replaced a long list of things but it just runs for a little bit then dies. I've had it started as recently as last weekend after replacing the fuel pump. My car is a 1994 Cadillac Deville 4.9 ltr base model. It's an automatic with 195000. I've owned the car for 23 years now and have never been unable to fix it until now.
Well help us out.
List the parts you've replaced.
When it dies, if you spray starting fluid into the intake does it run?
When it dies, do you have spark?
I've changed the fuel pump, ignition switch,key lock cylinder, map sensor,throttle positiuon sensor,fuel pressure regulator, distributor which came with a new hall effects sensor and ignition cotrol module, and I believe that's it. I believe we tried the starting fluid and it did not start. I have not checked for spark after it has died.
