Help I keep burning up ignition control modules!!!!!!

[voodoo]

Hey guys, I have a 94 GT. I recently had to change my distributor. I put the distrubutor in and then pulled the number one plug and the thing fired right up. Later that day the I was sitting in the driveway and the car just died on me. It wouldn't start up. Around ten minutes later it fired right up and then instantly died. I have changed out the coil and that didn't help it. I thought maybe my MSD 6al was acting up so I put everything back to stock. I pulled the ignition control module and had it tested at my work, and it tested bad 4 times once it warmed up. So i replaced that. The car has burned up 2 brand new ignition control modules since then. When the car dies sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes sometime 3 hours before it will start again. Anyone ran into this problem before Please help!!!

What brand of TFI are you using? Are you putting anything on the contacts?

Good luck.

That would suck !!!! I thought they come with a small tube of dielectric grease??

Seems to me that they should. If omitted or too much is used, that can cause issues.

I prefer heat-sink grease anyhow.

I had to ask - I get parts all the time that are missing stuff.

i used the brand from autozone. Wells it comes with a lifetime warranty and I have went through 3 new ones. Luckily I work at AutoZone. I have been putting the little tube of heat sink grease on the back of the module. There is a small tube in each box. I even swapped out another distributor since it was under warranty.

If this doesn't fix the problem I don't know what else to do.

Are you getting any codes? I would have to pull a meter out and start probing terminals to see if there is a short. But if there was, I would expect it to kill the module, not give the typical symptoms of a bad module (where it comes back to life once it cools).
