    My 1990 toyota camry (manual trans) dies while I am driving it.
    I replaced the wires, distributor cap, and rotor. Also put in a used distributor. Just stranded me again. What now?

    Ignition module.

    Probably happens after the car warms up, sometimes? May or may not restart right away? Waiting (for components to cool) usually helps, right?

    Perform the tests below:

    I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil. These problematic components should be replace every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first. These are two components that frequently suddenly die and strand you.
