hey bud, turn down the caps, you're pretty loud. Check your ignition module. That's probably the culprit. Heat failure of the ignition module tends to be a common thing. when the module cools off it will work great, but if it's hot it will not work properly, causing the symptoms you described. I used to think the module was all or none, meaning if it was bad it wouldn't work period, but TomP informed me of the heat problem. If you get it tested, it will probably test good, mainly because the module is cold when you bring it in to be tested, but they are only a $20 or so part, so I would just replace it. Hope that helps.

 

thanks i will try that i did swap the old distributor from my old car so i might off brought the problem with me will the module make the car run rich? it stinks a lot when its running i dont have the air tube going to the cat..but i will put it back on thanks again

 

yeah that sounds like it could be your problem, I'm sure you know to give it a good dose of dielectric grease where it makes contact with the distributor, but I think that should have you running good in no time
