possible solution intermittant heat problem


Recommended Posts

ok so I have a 1984 ea81 and it shuts off at idle or when driving while running after warmed up good.

 

when cold it starts right up.

 

first I believed it was a fuel problem. but checked that out and discovered real problem is lack of spark.

 

with that being said, I have trouble shot it down to the reluctor and pickup inside the distributor.

 

I am picking one up tomorrow to get the final answer but, I feel confident this IS the problem.

 

Has anyone ever heard of such a problem before? a heat related lack of spark? It has got to be the pick up and not the coil. I tried both old coil and new coil, and same problem arises. I will let you guys know asap after I try the distributor pick-up/reluctor.:headbang:
