Default Sputtering, Misfire, Die.....

I did an extensive search and found many problems it could be....but nobody seemed to list same symptoms as my situation...so here goes..

Recently i installed a turbo kit (not sure if has anything to do with anything)..anyway i then within the last week or so converted my 94 GSR to an external coil (msd blaster 2). Car cranks up fine...annd drives like a beast...after a few times of boost and car really heats up under the hood it will start misfiring and almost sound like its not getting proper spark. Also on the occasion i start the car and let it idle for about 5 mins or so then try to drive it once i start to accelerate it will just choke on itself sputter and die. Then after it dies and i try to crank it i can here it trying to turn over but..nothing, I like have to wait for 10 minutes for it to cool off or something..(no its not overheating). Im not sure what this problem could be any thoughts...?

It's most likely your ex. coil. I had the same problem with mine, the two wires you run from the coil to the dizzy, make sure they are really tight on the iggy module...That's what was my problem, they would rattle loose and cut out

Told you, and the iggy module is the ignitor module. It's the peice inside the cap that you run your + and - from the coil to. I hated that happening to me, I couldn't figure it out for the longest time!

No prob, i just ask that you pass my knowledge on to others. This situation is sucky for everyone, especially since it's a small thing and it'll drive you crazy!
