It is not the Module, It started and ran fine.Your old school test was very good thinking on your part. You don't say if its auto or standard I assume auto so Neutral switch should be on the steering column under the dash.

Hope this helps. If not there get back to me and I will look it up in old school library. Have to go.

check ur fuses i had that problem with my turn check ignition fuse

the starter is located on the passenger side right under the manifold! all you have to do is disconnect the battery cables and then disconnect the starter wire and then remove the two bolts that run through the starter to the transmission.

substitute a known good coil.I understand it'll start and run for awhile?...it could be that the fuel system is vapor-locking.

On an inline 6 cylinder witch is what I have, it's on the passenger side of the engine just behind the exhaust pipe, and is accessed from under the car. Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery before you start to take it off, good luck, george..

Check all connections from the battery to the starter. Also check all grounds. If all else fails take the starter and have it check.

there should be a door panel you can take off to get to the mechanisim.

remove and plug vacume line on the distributer and find timing specs on the motor in the vehicle using timing light hook transducer cable to no# 1 cylinder set the idle to manufacturers specs make shure motor is warmed up to operating temp now point thr timing light at the timing plate on crankshaft pulley start the engine and watch for the mark on the harmonic pulley see where it is at when running now if the mark is not lining up with sugested degrees from manufacturer then u must loosen bolt on distributer only loosen 1/4 turn now rotate distributer clockwise or counterclockwise this will make the mark on the harmonic ballancer allign with manufactures required timing specs after aligning marks tighten distributer and unplug distributer vacume line and plug it back into distributer. and test if u need anymore specifics plz read manual carefully good luck
