car shuts off for no reason

car shuts off for no reason, did it yesterday morning while i was driving down the highway, i coasted to an off ramp tried to start the car. it started i reved the motor a couple times and stood back and it shut off again. would not start had it towed to where i work took the distibutor off and checked the wires. i have an msd sci 6300 with msd pro cap and blaster 2 coil. brand new ignition control module. i had no check engine light on at the time. but when i jumped the computer with a paper clip it pulled a bad ignition output signal, what could my problem be. i took it for a ride tonight and it shut off when it restarted it was fine, coming home it bogged down really bad like a dead spot then went again.

Re: car shuts off for no reason

have you removed your battery recently? if so, did the problems occur after you removed it?

Re: car shuts off for no reason

well, i tried changing my blaster coil with another one, that didn't work. i tried changing my msd box with a 6al that didn't work, i'm thinking i might try the ignition control module again to see if that's it. when i start my car it misses and seems like there's a drop in vaccum what would cause this, i hit the gas a couple times and its fine. but i have a vaccum gauge in the car and it runs around 20psi, volt gauge drops a bit, oil pressure is good, fuel pressure is around 50 cause of skunk2 intake manifold
