a couple weeks ago while i was driving my car on the freeway it lost power and cut off. I pulled over to the side of the road and could not get it started. It turns over and the fuel pump is humming when I turn the ignition but it will not fire up. So far i have changed the coil, starter solenoid and the little thing attached to the distributor(forgot the proper name) and this piece of shit still won't start! It's a 91 mustang. if anyone has any suggestions let me know! thanks in advance! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

so both the coil and the tfi ignition module has been swapped out, it could be the distributor pickup. if you got another distributor swap it out and see if it fires up.

damani, do you have an MSD box on the car? if you do, bypass it....
