Bleh, back here again... Some of you read in another thread I was having problems that all point to a bad ignitor... Originally I thought it was bad connections to it, but it turns out, that wasn't the case.

Anywho, I bought this ignitor maybe 3 or 4 months ago so it's still fairly new as far as age/usage is concerned. I know it could have become defective since then, but I just want to be doublely sure before I drop another $70 on a new one.

I tried reading helms and searching all over, couldn't find the answers I was looking for... I just have no idea how to entirely check if it's good or bad... can someone please give me a quick rundown with some details on how to check it? IE using a multimeter and how I would use it to check?

appreciate any help guys!... And kragen doesn't check ignitor and I don't think autozone would either =/ ...

do you mean ignition? coil? sorry i don't know what an "ignitor" is other than what is used on H.I.D.s.

the ignitor module in the distributor.

you check it with a mutimeter, but I forgot what the specs it was suppose to read... I know where i can get the answer so I'lll let you know real soon.
You still sputtering?

yah... After i cleaned up the connections and clamped em down, I warmed up the car and drove around the block for a while... everything seemed ok... So I thought all was well. The next day I went to school, started acting up again on the freeway.

But yah thanks, appreciate the help ^... I know I can check it with the multimeter, but I don't quite know how to use it to test it on the harness or actualy ignitor itself

Sorry....can't find what it was suppose to be...been looking through all my books, but I can't seem to find it. I think I missed placed it somewhere....aaaahhhhh If I find it I'll let you know...
