Problem!!!

[txregal]

Guy,

Here is my issue. 1987 T. 63,000 miles. Stock except for hooker cat back. T63 E turbo and 60 pounders with adj fuel reg and chip. I cant remember the type of chip right now.

The issue only occurs during hot days when I am in stop and go traffic. the issue is that the car will just die. I have to wait about 5 min and it will start again. The car never does this when I am on the highway driving non stop. just hot days in stop and go traffic.

Your thoughts???

Do you have a datalogger and possibly log it when it dies?

Could be CCCI module or coilpack... getting hot and malfunctioning.... that would be my first bet...

A datalog might point you in the right direction if you have a datalogger....

No datalogger!!! Something is getting hot and then cooling off so the car could start. Thanks for input!!

i am with blazer sounds like the module and or coil pack has a hairline crack and is expanding under extreme heat and is shorting out.

 

[txregal]

I know where the coil pack is. Where is this module located and what is the correct name?

 

[bmackinnon]

The Ignition (CCCI) Module is what the coil pack bolts to.... and, agreed, the module is the component most likely causing the symptoms you describe... common/typical issue with these cars...

Had the same problem a while back. Looked like the glue inside the ignition module was melted. Took it to a parts place that tested it. Tested fine. Kept chasing my tail on other stuff, then I read on here to have them test 3 or 4 times in a row to get it hot, thats when it would fail. Replaced it and the problem went away.
