Hey Stan,
The fire from the plug is blue..and a good flame.. I haven't had a chance
to get into the garage today..but going to go to the garage tomorrow..I'm
telling you..its absolutely crazy..never heard of anything like it..I'm
thinking of naming the car Christine. When I bought the car it stated and
ran fine for about two weeks..then one day it did this...and did it for
about a month..couldn't figure it out..the I started and ran fine again for
about 3 days..then the same thing again...crazy frustrating...ohh well
thanks again..and if any other ideas or suggestions please let me know..and
If I figure anything out..I'll let you know what the problem was.
Thanks again,
Patrick

Pat, You said you had spark for the ignition?.....The color of the spark should be blueish in color, if it's orange....the module went bad. As far as timing...if you haven't removed the distributor ,I would guess timing is not the problem. Also , was it running before this all started....or did you receive it that way?
