lately my car has been running like total crap. i tryed to replace the coil in the distributor because the old one looked pretty melted and the metal bar going through the middle had like a 1/4 inch of play. also the red wire going into it was also kind of charred. the car ran much better for a few days, but now my car is running almost as bad as it was before and i have a bad feeling it melted the new coil. what on earth could cause this? my old coil was only a year old. i get some real bad bogging down upon acceleration from idle, and ive noticed when the car is fully warmed up (after sitting in a bit of traffic) the rpms become unstable and it almost stalls. any ideas?

 

The coil and ignition module are often a "chicken or egg" thing.

It's a good idea to replace both when either one has gone bad.

 

how can i replace the ignition modual? it looks pretty integrated with the distributor.
