Hi,

I've got a problem with my car that is that when you run it for around 3-10 minutes it shuts off and cuts spark completely until it is fully cold.I was driving on the road cruising at 100 km and it lost all power and cut spark. I have replaced the coil and dizzy/ignition module. It is still getting power to the coil after it shuts off and I am unsure were to look now. Cheers, Lewis

Hello,

It sounds like you have a crankshaft sensor that is not working right or the ignition module is out. I would get a rebuilt distributor and install it should fix the problem. This guide should help as well:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
