Question
kills coils- New pick up coil new Dist. cap an rotor no fire out of coil after running 10 mintues
Answer
Hi Mike,
I believe the M-body is a RWD about which I don't have any manuals newer than '82. Which engine is in the car? Let me know and maybe that older manual will still be applicable. If so let me know and I'll take a look. The syndrome of running for a while, then loosing spark, then recovering after cooldown, is often related to a Hall effect sensor in the distributor which is wearing out, though maybe that is what you already replaced? Have you checked for 12v to present at the primary of the coil when you lose the spark. It should be there when you are cranking it. You could try jumping the ASD relay at that point and see perhaps if either the ASD is weak, or for some reason the signal from the pick-up coil is dropping out which open the ASD for safety reasons.
Roland
