Sorry about the abrupt answer to yor first reply. I mistook it for your answer. I will use the information you supplied to try to solve the problem. thank you ntm34@charter.net
Its alright please let me know what you find its most likely going to be the ignition coil or ignition module.
How do you know it is not a fuel problem?
Gained enough information from the site you suggested to make a decision to change the control module. The ignition was not out long enough to preform the test required test to determine specific the cause ofspark loss. Engine has 3 to 4 hours without a problem since the module was changed. Prior to changing module run time was in minutes. thank you Norman
What control module are you refering to?
Your welcome thats what were here for glad to hear you have it fixed.
