For the past few months I've been fighting a frustrating little wiring/ignition issue..... not my strong point. Anyways it has a tendency to die within 10 minutes of starting, usually at the McD's drivethru... It has a tendency to be more reliable once i get it running for a longer time.(not always) My coil is getting no spark, I replaced the ignition cylinder which seemed to help for about a week, the ignition switch is new, swapped out the coil,(not the problem) thought about the ignition control module but haven't tried that. I can crank away after it dies and nothing(I now carry a spark tester which I hook to the coil wire) when i turn the key back from the start position to run, I occasionally get a little burst in my test light. Also, my fuel pump will kick back on when the key returns to the run position after cranking, and then usually it will restart. Is there a relay I should be checking or maybe the control module?? Bad wiring/short in ignition most likely the problem??? Any new ideas would be appreciated...

 

Sounds like you shouldn't go to McDonalds. Lol no sound like heat related problem with the distributor coil pickup, or wiring conection between the run position on the switch and the coil or the ignition control module.
