Technican: Hello, What engine do you have please? When the condition is present have you tested fuel pressure? Is the fuel filter okay? After the engine has died and doesn't want to restart do you have ignition spark? Please advise.

Owner: ahh sory iv replaced the fuel filter iv put fuel injection cleaner in iv replaced the ignition coil and its a 1987 ford GT 1.9L 5 speed manual HO EFI my friend (mechanic) says he thinks its a ignition moduel but we cant seem to find it

Technican: Okay, I will find out where the module is located on your car. Please tell me, did you have fuel pressure after the engine died and would not restart? Did you check for spark at that time?

Owner: i havent checked the preasure on the fuel when it died or the spark im not all the great with cars but my friend showed me how to check it when it happens so il be doing that next time
