stalling engine dies for good

while I was driving down the road cruising in 5th, the car stalls, then I start it back up, drive a lilttle bit more and it stalls, all the way home. Eventually, the car doesn't start. Cranks over, but won't start. Not a flooding problem. I'm guessing it's either fuel or spark. Can anyoen help me out?

This is a 88TII by the way. Before this, my car would smoke hardcore for about 15 seconds when I started the car. This happend about once or twice a month. This was before the stalling happend. O2 sensor may be a possiblity I guess. I have a boost controller. That's my only mod.

and recently before the stalling, my car was losing coolant pretty fast. I had to refill once a month.

sounds like coolant seals to me too... rebuild is the only way to fix this.. luckily you probably wont' need rotors or housings, so a basic rebuild kit will fix your engine....

How much do basic rebuild kits cost? I am on a low low budget. University starts in about 5 months. I am planning on selling the car. Should I rebuild then sell or just sell the car as is?
