When installing the exhaust system I forgot to (stupid) disconnect the battery and the welding ground fried the module. It would run until hot and then leave me sitting,after cooling it would start up. Like you it took a while to find the problem. We just need to keep checking these guys out on the forum as they are smart,smart.
No prob. Even the thought of help is great. You know how it is you get so fustrated you can't think straight. At least I have developed a slight ammount of patience. Back when I was 16 I had this GTO. Put plug wires on and could get no fire. Checked it all. Checked firing order 1843657, and if 7 are correct the 8th has to be in the right place, right. Well after I got so pissed I went inside and watched tv or somthing, I came back out and checked it for the 18th time. Did you guess? num 2 in coil and coil in num 2. Duhhhhhhhhh what a dumb a##. Fired right up. Live and learn. This one was tough cause the problem only presented itself for just a few seconds. I finally just watched that volt meter till it died. I guess the coil in icewater maybe just kept the amp draw so low the problem wouldn't present itself. Oh well thanks for the thoughts.
