Hi All,
New to the forum so be patient with me. I checked the archives but didn't find an answer so here it goes.
The engine dies when it gets hot. I've determined that it's loss of spark, not a fuel problem. I did diagnostics per
the service manual and found the coil to be bad. Replaced it with new and still no joy. Before I replace the igniter
is there something else I should be looking at? It's a US, automatic Transmission model.
thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy, welcome to the forum. I would replace the entire distributor, personally. Too many various components in it to determine which one it is, and good used distributors are pretty easy to come by, and affordable. I would try that next if I were you.

Thanks dlb. I'll look for a used distributor.

hola, e tenido el mismo problema y no pude conseguir un distribuidor, el principio cambie la bobina no era exactamente igual pero funciono por dos días, vi que tenia poca fuerza y a los dos días fallo nuevamente, logre conseguir una bobina original de segunda mano y quedo bien luego volvio a fallar y esta ves dice que fue el modulo, volví con el mecánico me indico que podría cambiarlo a platino y condensador lo cual no me agradaba ese cambio ya que estaríamos retrocediendo; al final el mecánico no se como pero lo reparo y hasta el momento no a vuelto a fallar, de igual manera estoy buscando un distribuidor completo electrónico, cuento con el motor 3A-u transmisión automática
