FUEL PUMP MODULE OR DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY...MECHANIC NEEDED FOR HANDS-ON TESTING!

My local GOOD YEAR Tec's done all the work and they cant find anything wrong they replaced distributor cap thinking it may have been a bad one but didnt fix it. what do you suggest

Have a "mechanic" at an "independent automotive garage" test the fuel pressure and ignition fire. The fuel pump modules give a lot of problems! The ignition coil and the distributor 'assembly' also are suspect! You might have needed that water pump, so it was not a total loss!

When it quits, how long does it take to re-start? How long do you need to drive it in order to get it to act up? Is there anything else that you can mention such as weather conditions that seem to make it more likely to occur, ( such as rain, cold, heat) I'd be hooking up a scan tool, fuel pressure gage, low amps probes on the fuel pump feed circuit, injector feed circuit and ignition. Plus I'd be ready to scope cam and crank signals, injector command, and distributor reference and EST signals. Then drive it, run it, until I get it to act up and prove what is wrong. You need to find a shop/technician with the tooling, training and discipline to take a similar approach.
