That sounds like what happened to my 95 dak. We replaced just about
everything in th engine, but it kept acting up. We would change
something and it would run fine for three days before dying again. We
found out that it wasn't getting any spark, and took it to the dealer,
and found out that there was a short in the wiring leading to the coil.
Its now running OK.
BTW, I never got any trouble codes the entire time it was acting up.
