You might need to add some compression. I think they are selling it in bulk at Vatozone, you should pick up a case of it.

It happend to me yesterday. I was on the highway, but the ****** won't start after shut off. 135$ to get it towed for 2km :1

I thought it was the main relay, but I hear the 3 clicks it should do. I thought it was the fuel pump, but I get pressure from the fuel filter. I have to check for the spark, I was alone and it's hard to crank and see the spark...

I was in traffic and I didn't noticed the engine stoped since I was at low rpm. I took out my ostrich to see if the battery are gone.

30 secondes before the engine shut off I said to myself "The engine run pretty well today, ------- smooth" then it stoped....

I'll throw it in the garbage...

I was serious, it's the ignition module in the distributor. The tach dies first because that's where the tach signal comes from.

Or the main relay cuts out, which kills the ECU and causes it to stop sending the ignitor signals telling it to fire the coil, and in turn synthesize an output for the tach.

i doubt its the main relay. i just spent 60 bucks on a brand new one instead of ------- with old ones. but it never did it before i put that in so i guess its plausible. i guess i wont really know till i replace the distributor

would it just cut out for a few seconds and then come back on? can i just buy a new ignitor? or do i have to get a whole new dizzy
