Please help me get her running
96’ GC 4.0
Will start and kill itself then get no spark and not start at all or just will crank and not start at all.
Replaced In Last 2 Weeks
Ignition Coil
Battery
Spark Plugs
Plug Wires
Distributor Cap
Distributor Rotor
Distributor Cam Ring sensor
Crank Sensor
Idle Air Control Valve
“New” remanufactures PCM
Fuel sending unit / pump / filter
Regrounded neg for battery
Something is shutting it off electronically, when she starts she runs good but it’s like a switch something is killing it then after it will have no spark when I pull a plug to test and won’t start back up will just crank.
Been checking grounds and trying to figure out the problem for 3 weeks now.
She’s my daily driver and use to tow my boat also and haul kayaks been getting to work on my motorcycle but so frustrated I can’t figure this out.

I was really hoping that the problem was with the PCM, but after reading your post, it isn't looking good for me. Yikes! If I get mine running before I read that you get yours running, I'll let you know what my heeps problem was! Good luck!

I would say your security system is shutting it down. The alarm is probably set without you knowing it. My 97 had that problem and since the horns were burnt out, the only way of knowing it was set was by the blinking red LED on top of the dash. All I did was unlock the door with the key which turned it off.

It was intermitten would be a couple minutes could get it to drive then would cut out or I would start it it would cut out 30 seconds later now it won’t start at all not even getting spark at the coil. Just disabled the alarm today didn’t fix it
