Guest imported_JPC Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I know this is the buick site but I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this issue I'm have with my Chevy. I have a stock 87 SS Monte for my wife that the electronic ignition module keeps burning up on. In the last 6 years its been replaced 8 times. Ive tried a new coil, new cap and rotor, new pick up coil, new wires, new ground straps from head to firewall and still no luck in getting this problem licked. Checked distributor for shorts or faulty ground as shown in shop manual but found no faults. Last time it happened I put in a new distributor and thought this cured the issue but it happened again last month. I know this is not an inherant problem with these car because I have the same ignition in my car and it still has the original Delco part installed. The Shop manual give diagnostics to check if it works but no mention of what to do if the module keeps going dead. Any ideas on what to check clean or fix would be helpful as I'm at a lose as to what to try next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I would think you still have a bad ground situation, or some faulty connectors. What about the main wire harness connection between the engine compartment and the interior? Or the connectors on the computer box itself?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don B. Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 If this is the type with the module under the cap makesure you are using silicone/heat transfer grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
