Re: car dies at random!!!!!help
when it shuts off does everything else in the car still work? i.e radio lights etc
does the car shut off like u hit the key? or does it run ruff then die
i would lean twards a bad connection at the battery/starter or a broken gound

hmm i would say get a spare spark plug and pull one wire off and plug it onto the extra plug lay the plug on the itake and start the car it will run ruff but atleats u will be able to see if the spark is just cutting out all the sudden.
what brand of ign mod did u put in?
u could also prob the 12 volt line to the coil while the car is running with a testlight if the testlight goes out when the car dies then u know the coil is losing power
