S10 4.3l vortex started over heating then cut out going down the road and won't start again. Is it a sensor or something more? It's getting fuel but no spark

SOURCE: 96 Ford Windstar runs rough, check engine light on

Sounds like you have some EGR ports clogged up, remove the intake and look at the egr ports all but
#1 cyl port will probably be at least partially clogged, hope this helps

SOURCE: Vehicle dies while driving down the road.

could it be the A/C pump kicking in. might be boging down the motor or electrical circuit, not letting the injectors get enough power. This could happen if the bearings are going bad in th A/C pump or there is a short in it. Just an idea. sounds like you have done the main components.

SOURCE: 1997 ford explorer cuts off while driving down

If you confirmed spark is there, and you hear fuel pump working, I'd still try spraying WD-40 in throttle body intake for a couple of seconds, when it won't start, just to see if it kicks over, just in case pump is running but not up to pressure. If it fires for a second or 2 with WD-40, then you know lack of fuel is the problem.

Having a problem with my 2003 Chevrolet s10 4.3 vortex idles good but sputters going down the road what could be wrong

Taking the vehicle an having scan testing done should be done before replacing parts . Without testing we would only be guessing ! Could be fuel related ,sensor problem , ignition etc.... If we suggested a few different thing's would you just replace them ? Testing an not guessing is how to fix drivability problems .

Engine shuts off while driving

It may be the ignition control module failing and in need of replacing.

Was going down the road an my truck cut off.it turns over but no fire

When it cranks over does it sound normal or does it sound like you have no compression? You may have a broken timing chain.

My plymouth, voyager turns off while I'm driving it down the road..

Just an Idea. When it dies next time check the relay temperatures, if you can. Once I had a fan relay which would over heat and the radiator fan would not work. After relay cooled down it would work(This usually happened when I was stuck in traffic). Could be a fuel pump relay. If relay is a lot hotter than the other relay could be bad relay. My thought is it will not cost you anything to try it. I think it may be something electrical over heating. 30 years ago my thought would have been the coil, when the coil started going bad it would heat up and the car would die till it cooled off.

Mazda 323 1985 runs fine when cold after the car heats up it will randomly die. Just cuts out completely. Won't start straight away but after 30sec it will start like nothing was wrong. Then it will...

This is going to be tough to fix. Chances are its a relay or the ignition module, but until it gets to where it will not start for several minutes or not at all, you won't know if you have fixed it or not.
Something is getting hot, cooling off, then getting hot again.

94 grand cherokee cutsoff going down the road then won't start until it sets for a while

When it won't start someone will need to find out if you are dealing with a no-spark or no-fuel problem to proceed.
If the check engine light is on you should get the computer scanned for trouble codes.

I have seen crank sensors go and leave no codes, but, likely the fuel pump is going away...they get hot and seize, then cool down and work again. I would not replace either without proper testing only because parts are expensive and there are other heat sensitive components in there. (coil etc) Be aware that it will check out good if it is running right while tests are being done.
