Unhappy Shuts off while driving!

I have replace the distributor, fuel filter, timing belt and tensioner, battery and alternator . The car still shuts off while driving. I have read several post saying to check the ASD. Has anyone else had this problem? I love the car it drives awesome but I'm getting tired of chasing this issue.

It might help a little if you provided a few details about your car, like what year, model and engine. We're not very good at mind reading. Make sure you include the codes from your reading of the computer.

I have not yet hooked it up to a diagnostic tool yet. i drove it to and from work and it shutdown once i felt something just before it turned off but im not sure what it was. i got out and pull the tcm relay and the fuel pump relay . it started right back up after i put them back and made it home. still confused about what it might be.

No point in guessing. Get the codes.

your not going to get much as far as codes because u disconnected the battery to replace the alternator so u get to drive it around for about a week until the PCM can relearn the adaptive numerator and then some codes will come up.

Why would u replace the alternator any way? A timing belt wont cause it to keep shutting off nor will a fuel filter and battery. U replaced the whole distributor assembly not just the cap and rotor right?

The timing belt stretched so i changed that and the tensioner. i changed the whole distributor because it has the ignition coil and cam sensor built in and i figured since it had never been done before i would pay one price for the whole thing rather than replace one thing and have one of the other components inside go bad. The altenator was changed 6 months ago so there should be codes.

my point in saying what has been replace is to show that most of the things that it could be was done 6 months ago or less.

No but if there's no check engine light there's no codes correct?
