MY PROBLEM IS MY CAR WILL RUN FOR A WHILE THEN IT QUITS. WHEN IT QUITS THEIR IS NO FIRE FROM THE COIL TO THE PLUGS. I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED THE COIL THE TFI MODULE AND CLEANED THE MAIN GROUNDS. THE CAR WILL START AFTER EVERYTHING COOLS OFF. WHAT IS YOUR ADVISE.

What brand of Module did you use? Sounds like classic module problem. Maybe a new defect?

We have had to do some strange things to confirm the hot soak problems like making a component cold as quickly as possible or when it does start, try heating up a component with a hair dryer to see if it won't start when the r and r is too long to do.
