Can we commit Suicide over a Vehicle?
Okay, it's almost how I feel over this car! I have tried (and continuing) to solve this mystery and times running out (Smog and Registering again).
Anyway, this is the problem with my 1991 S Amigo 2.6L, it has a hard start and will sometimes die while driving. So this is what I've done so far for a girl:
Started with, new oil filter, new oil, new high end spark plugs, new high end wires, new air filter - It continued to happen.
Then, new distributer cap with new rotor, new condenser coil -It continued to happern.
Took it to get diagnosed, paid $150.00 - NO HELP - It continued to happen.
Took it to get diagnosed (Isuzu Dealer), paid another $150.00 and they said I had a crack manifold and had to be repaired to continue with diagnoses repairs at over $3,000.00! - SAID NO WAY - I had a new manifold put in by a reputable mechanic at a charge of $600.00. Okay it ran fine for just a while then it continued to happen again.
I devoired the internet and forums (except this one) and tried checking the ground wires, everything was great - NO HELP - It continued to happen.
Looked in my Haynes manual, and replaced: New ignition coil, checked the ECM as stated and it passed. Now I've ordered the ignition relay....maybe hope?
In any case I hope someone here might have the same problem or have repaired something as similar. If so, your my hero if you can help me (before this car kills me)

Things to try
1 Fuel Filter (Just change out)
2 Fuel Pump (check for correct pressure)
3 Timing
4 try to run higher quality fuel / also try running a can of SEAFOAM through it to clean out the fuel system.
5 Air Filter
Dont know much about your engine I have the 2.2L but this may help.
