Is the inner dust cover inside the distributor missing? Have you replace the igniter unit and checked that no wires are damaged?

arizpe18

Give some background. How did this problem start?

arizpe18

was driving car and then it just shut off!!! put on new dizzy drove for 2 days shut off again put another dizzy drove for 1 day and shut off again.... changed wires plugs ecu replaced coil blew in like 1 hour..

arizpe18

when you replace coil car runs perfect not a single problem runs like a dream a few hours later it will just lose all power.... change coil it will run fine!

Make sure the plug wires are fully seated on the distributor cap and on the spark plugs.

Another possibility is that the "new" plug wires are bad.

Any CEL codes?

cel?? confused as what that is very limited... um i had 2 different sets of wires on the car i still had same problem... one set is now on another ek....

See Codes sticky at the top.

it had misfire codes.... but it wasnt missing it was running perfect... i think it was old codes from when it was missing.. the first time i replace dizzy a wire in the new dizzy was bad causing it to miss i got another dizzy and everything was fine never reset codes....
