Default No fire after car warms up?

My cousin has a 94 Lt1 he recently put back to stock. Well now the car will crank right up when its cool and run strong. Once warmed up to operating temp the car will die and not turn back on, no fire is going trough. Bought a new coil , and coil module. Any other suggestion? we still have no luck.

By no fire you mean no Spark? Are you absolutely sure there's no spark from the Opti and from the Coil?

My camaro did the exact same thing. The optical sensor in the opti was bad.

Coils will do that and so will Ignition moduals. If you test those after it gets hot you should find out if there good or not. also the opti harness needs to be checked.

If the optical sensor in the optispark is bad, it won't send the signals to the PCM which in turn will not send the signal to the ICM to tell the coil to fire. shbox.com has a complete set of diagnostics you can follow.
