So I just got a 93 SE, and I did a tune up cause it was has having problems cranking when I tried to start it for the first time after it had sat for a while. The ignition coil wire to the distributor cap was really corroded, so I figured the starting problem would be fixed, but it was not. The problem persisted, and after two days it has gotten worse. I don't think it is the battery, because all the electronics in the car work just fine, but the engine will die while moving while in neutral, but will crank back up with either the key, or by dumping the clutch. I have not had time to check anything in the fuel system yet, but just wanted to get some feedback on where to start.

Thanks.

Wait wait wait. You're all over the board. It dies while moving, but will start back up with the key? When's the last time the ignition and starter were checked out? What exactly was replaced when doing your tune-up?

I drove it again today, and the rpm in neural are continually fluctuating from about 200 to 800. I just did the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. the problem started a few days after the tune up, not right after, or before.
