78 FJ40 2F, HEI
Symptons:
Runs fine for long periods of time. I shut off the motor after a long haul and then restart. Idles fine. Then after about 100 yards the motor just dies. Sometimes I can get it to come back to life before I roll to a stop and then it will try to stall again. After the second time trying to stall, it runs fine for a long time again. When it stalls, there is fuel in the carb.
After a couple of weeks of this, it wont start at all so I took the ignition module in to napa and they said it was fine. I bought another one just in case and installed the new one with the grease provided. Everything was back to normal for a while then it started doing it again. I replace the new module with the old one and everything was fine for a while again.
Plugs are gapped to .045
I was thinking new plugs, ignition wires. Any other suggestions? This seems like a wiring problem of some kind. Sometimes, I can just take the cap off the distributor and put it back on and the engine fires right back up.
Thanks.
