ignition prob ?

my car died on me today in the middle of the road. had her up to about 3500 rpm in 2nd, and she just quit. it had done it a while ago, but then started back up. not this time. good thing i have towing on the insurance. the tow guy said it may be the module on the dist. any one have any ideas? oh yeah, he said the fuel pump seemed ok.

Could be the module. Do you have spark at the plugs?

For the motor to run, you gotta have fuel and spark. If one is missing, she don't go. Find out what's missing.

On a related note, my engine is starting to momentarily cut out when I'm driving, but it comes back right away (doesn't die), and the tach needle flicks when it happens. Guys on the Engine board say it's the module or coil. I just put a new module on order from Summit. We'll see if that fixes it, if not, Traviz will get an order for an MSD coil.
