My setup:
1989 Ford Mustang LX
302 with Flex Fan
1.7 Roller Rockers
Long Tube Headers
U/D Pulleys
Smog Pump and AC Removed and EGR Water Tubes Blocked (Basic Emissions Removal)
3.73 Gears
Steeda-Short Throw
I'll be driving along driving along [sic] and my car will randomly die on me when I'm driving. Just BAM, motor shuts down . I turn it over and it's just not firing, so I figure it's not getting spark. So I change ignition coil, because I figure it can't be the solenoid since the starter is turning over. Changing ignition coil seemed to fix the problem, it started right back up. So I keep driving and bam, it shuts down again. I feel the ignition module, ya know, cuz it's the next in the line, and this thing is burning hot to the touch. I change it out with a junkyard part and that seemed to fix it for a while, but after 2 weeks the problem happens again. I buy a new ignition module from AutoZone and switch it out, fixes the problem again for another DAY or so.
So the problem is still there, and when I took both the junkyard part and the OEM into the Zone and got them tested, they both failed after running the tests on them about 4 times over (the tester gets the module pretty hot).
Also, I changed plug wires out (not like that really matters a whole lot) last weekend.
I guess the dang thing is overheating, but I have no idea how to fix this. I can't keep spending $40.04 on new ignition modules, any ideas from you guys? I've changed the coil, the module, and the wires.
