Sonicfrog Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well, my 1983 EA 81 Brat has been having a reoccuring problem over the last year. Every once in a blue moon, it would just stall. The problem is sudden loss of spark. I would check the wire connections on the coil, and then the engine would fire right up.Coils are inexpensive, so I replaced that this summer.All has been well..... Until now. This morning, it did it again. Stalled with no spark.I'm leaning toward the ignition control module. The disty I have is, I believe, the Nippon Denso version, which has the more expansive two-part modual.My question is, since the modules themselves are somehow more expensive than the entire disty, complete with module, would I have to buy the same type? Or is the Nippon-Denso and the Hitachi for that engine interchangable?I would think they woud be, but I never assume anything.... Especially when the car is involved. Thanks in advanceMike.

Subaru Scott Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hitachi's were my preference as the electronics NEVER went bad. They would, however, wear out their bushings if the owner let oil changes go and the spiral grooves on the shaft, which supply oil up to the bushing, gunked up. I had a local guy with a lathe making those for me for 15 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
