Lately my car has been cutting out when it gets warm. It dosent matter what RPM. I searched here and seen that some poeples problems was the TFI module. I changed that this AM with another one i have and it didnt seem to change anything. This all started with rarly happening now it's alot.Could the coil be bad maybe? I have a MSD coil. any help fellas? peace

When it cuts out does it restart immediately?

If the coil is loose in the holder it's incased in,would that have anything to do with it?I'm not talking about the metal bracket,i'm talking about how it's molded into the enclosure and then you screw it all to the metal bracket that attaches to the car. It was this way when i got the car but my old one wasent,but it didnt start doing this till recently. I drove the car about 5 miles one way today and it did it once.Got to the store and 5 miles back it did it a bunch,and it was weather i was accelerating or normal cruising on the freeway at 60MPH. it does this in any gear. peace
