if anyone can help I have a 92 bonneville sse and it when it heats up it
dies and wont start til it cools down, but it does start up, its not
over heating but when it dont start there is no spark to the plugs or
anywhere it still turns over. we at first thought it was the fuel pump
we changed that the fuel filter the spark plugs and the ignition control
module and it is still having the problem. please help me?

the starter works good, well at least it always turns over and would
that be affected by heat

and when it wouldnt start i drained and added cold water and then again

if it is shutting off due to it heating up you might have a censer going
bad

the timing is the reason you are not getting any spark

do you know what sensor would be doing that, cause i know the crank
shaft sensor relates spark but of that goes out the car shouldnt run til
its replaced

and it will tell you if it set a code and what the code is.
