More ignition problems....

Ok, my car has been having a problem with cutting out for a second then starting back up. It went on for about a two weeks and everytime I checked the ignition system with DVM everything checks out.
Well now it runs but when it warms up it dies and just gets worse as it warms up.

When I took off the module to check it, I decided to look at the pickup coil and, everything was shot. I had to get a new distributor.

So I have new::: plug wires, distributor, pickup coil, module.

I'm leaning toward the ignition coil, or possiblely a loose ground.

If anyone has ANY other ideas I'd like to hear them before I start again tommrow afternoon.

Thanks

I'd buy another coil too. Try your system first. it no go put the coil on. If no go again return the coil back to autozone or whereever. Also check the 3 gounds on the back of the pass side head and the 2 or 3 grounds on the back of the driver side head

You might have a wire short somewhere and it's grounding.

Cant offer much advice here except HAVE LOTS OF PATIENCE!!

Good Luck.

Check or have the fuel pressure checked. Could be clogged filter, low pressure, etc.

Does it only cut out in OD. Maybe check to make sure the TC lockup is working properly.
