I have an 89 5 speed sc that is giving be some grief. It intermittantly stalls under all driving conditions. It just dies at first I tried to just turn it over while moving and it would not fire up. so I turn the ignition off and then turn it back on and the car starts right up. Of course this has been a pain to trace and of the 10 sc's Ive owned this is a new one to me any ideas? I tried my code reader and nothing comes up so I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks in advance,

changed cranck sensor

I changed the cam sensor and drove the car for about 45 min and it seems to have corrected the problem. I noticed the connector's clips are broken so I think it just might have been a bad connection, Is thier a way to test the sensor?
