    Ignition - Help

    It just shut off on me and wouldn't start. They told me that I needed a new TFI module and a stator. I had no previous problems before it quit. Unfortunately, Advanced said they couldn't even call the people to get me another dizzy until Monday...which sucks because I wanted to get it fixed...

    Ignition - Help

    BTW, a mechanic suggested the re-manufactured distributor I got from Advanced may be bad. Is this possible? Would it even run if the dizzy was bad?

    I just got it towed back to my apartment. The only thing the mechanic told me was it needed a module and a stator...he didn't say anything else. Mabye the labor comes from the stator change? Then you have to add $90 just for the diagnostics.

    OK here is what I have done: I pulled each fuse and put a DVM where the fuse was. I set my DVM to read amps at 200 micros. Two things really stuck out. My [Air Bag System] is drawing 106.1 and my [Brake on/off (BOO) switch, Electronic Flasher] is drawing 68.3 amps. Are these normal?
