do like me and buy a new dizzy, after the time and money wasted replacing internal guts of the dizzy you could have bought a new one and rode out!@

did you have this problem and put a brand new dizzy and the problem continued? i was gonna guess your ignitor or coil is bad but you say you changed the dizzy. are you using a resistor box for your injectors?

if you're sure the distributor you replaced it with was perfect then i am going to say i think your resistor box is bad.

i dont think that has anything to do with the dizzy.. i had 3 dizzy on it an it ran for awhile till it gets hot, then the igniter went out on all 3 of them.

it does, it happened to me consistently for 4 or 5 months. i kept thinking its the dizzy cuz as soon as i drove around and turned the car off, it wouldn't turn back on. then i wouldn't have spark. i changed the dizzy several times and even the engine harness. then finally i put a new resistor box and the car has started up everytime ever since.

i got it a few times. if i turned the car on and off, the code would go away. but after i changed the resistor box the code never came back. check ur yellow/black wire going to the dizzy plug before u change the box out though. thats the ignition output signal wire.
