Default 93 si..engine cutting out

I was driving down the road then my engine cut off. Cranked it a few times, but wouldn't start. Waited awhile then tried again and started. Next day took a few tries to get it started, cut off a few times on the road, but got it back running again. Now engine won’t hold in idle, about 2mins before cutting out.

Anyone experience this problem before or knows whats going on??

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks

How are your plugs, cap and rotor etc.? Was it running with full power up until that point?

If you ask me I would say a very High percentage that it could be your Distributor Cap..Get you a new cap and replace the Rotor. If plugs and Wires haven't been replaced in awhile..Hook them up too..If you still have Problems then that wasn't it..

Main relay shouldn't make it just cut off while driving. I'd say it's the coil.
