Default 1993 2.3 losing spark when it gets hot

after my car gets hot it loses spark have changed the coil packs and the ignition control module.

before trying to fix the it took about 5 mins at idle to die then after replacing the coil packs it took about 15 mins at idle then after the control module it took about 15 mins of idle and 15 mins of driving to die so its something to do with spark control

What about the plug wires? Have you changed those? They might be grounding out on the engine. They need to be mounted/ran away from the exhaust header and attached to the clips that hold them.

plugs wires are new. the ignition was a suspect but we wiggled it and it didnt help right now it may be the comp plug was loose and may have caused a short curcuit.

problem has been fixed found out that the crank sensor was rubbing badly on the crank and causing it to get way to hot making engine not know when to fire.
