Ok I'm trying to help family and i'm stumped.

My aunt has a 1989 buick elektra V6 that starts lets you drive a little while then it stalls and dies check engine light is on and everything that has popped up has been checked and fixed
new fuel pump and filter.
Replaced the ecu.
Checked camshaft sensor It was good.
Replace ignition switch and wires.
Car has clean air filter.
So what else should I check?

What about the Crankshaft sensor?

have you verified you have spark visually.

Not to come off as a dick it sounds like your just throwing stuff at it hoping it'll be fixed.

Also the crankshaft sensors on those things go out pretty frequently so you might be getting one really stupid signal. The MAP's also went out on the 3.1L sometimes. Err i forget what size engine that was, i think its the 3.1L correct?

My uncle told me he replaced the crankshaft sensor and no I haven't tested spark maybe next time I stop by their house Ill do the screwdriver test.
