    Thumbs down Car Starts Then Dies Repeatedly

    so heres the scoop got my winter beater and its shown to be more of a beater then thought lol
    got in my car started it up and went to back up and it died, took a second to start it again and then drove about a block n half then it died again and wouldnt fire up for quite some time so i gave up and towed it home, when it does fire up no matter what it dies, ive tried full throttle, half throttle and just allowing too idle.
    its getting fuel, i can hear the fuel pump and checked the fuel rail for pressue all seems fine,
    im leaning towards either ECU or ignition control module, but im also told it could partially be cause by plugged cat
    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before i tear random crap out for no reason

    also car is a 1990 Z24 3.1 liter with approx 242k

    It's not the size that matters, it's the taste it leaves in your mouth.

    I'd go with ICM as well on those. Luckily it's a V6 (it's a PAIN to reach in the 4 cylinder models)
