Alhambra petrol -98
Starts always without any problems.
Dies after 500m - 2km. Just shuts off, like turning off the key.
Driving in 50-60 mph I keep it rolling on in gear and the oil pressure lamp starts blinking with about 1 Hz.
But no other lamps lights up in the panel here.

This is not oil pressure related, it's trying to tell me something... but what?
(or maybe this is normal warning, telling just that the engine doesn't fire.)
Okay, it stopped... Then in most cases it starts again directly. Not always. Have to try 5-6 times at worst.
Keep on driving, and it repeats itself. The other day I kept on trying. And after 5 stops it kept on going! Took a long trip. All was well. Drove home, waited 3 hours, then a new test, and the error is back. Have replaced distributor, distributor cap, "relay 30" and the Fuel pump relay. Still the same. Help!!! Crank sensor or ignition coil ???? Rather expensive so I need some inputs.

Okay, it's an old car, but last year I replaced the cam belt, so I was planning for a few more years with it... Any ideas someone ? /Richard

Hi, this is not the correct section to post this question into, try copying it across to the main Alhambra section for better chance of getting some replies.
