I have a 75 2.0 d-jet. i turn the key about 4 times to get the fuel pump sending gas to the engine. Starts right up. it idles a little low to begin with but then idles about 1000 rpm after 5min. So I decided to take a drive. running great down the highway no issues what so ever. After about 25 miles up the road engine dies. Battery is fine and the starter works well, not a battery issue. I can't restart it. Had to have it towed back home. Let engine cool down but still won't start. Fuel pump engages but no start. Shot some starting fluid in throttle body but again no start.

I know my fuel injection harness is not the best but it wasn't good before today. Looking on line I think it might be a cht sensor issue. Saw this online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbmanDTIun8

They tested the cht to ecu and found out it was a bad cht. Once they changed it their car fired right up.

I haven't checked the fuel pressure, I haven't checked the injectors, I did check spark and I have it on the sparkplugs. I shot some starting fluid in the spark plug hole and no start.

Any ideas? It is funny that it was running great and then died.
