skishop69 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I did a search and there was just too much to go through. The ignitor went bad on the 87.5 (along with several other things that have been replaced) and I want to know where to get a new one or if it can be bypassed. This 'new' car is beginning to p*ss me off !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skishop69 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 The ignitor is a little transistor that is attached to the coil bracket. The ECU sends the signal to it/ through it to fire the coil. I've done the cleaning routine with no change. I drove it back from Olympia before I tore it down for head work and rings. No it runs for about 10 min and dies or dies immediately if you rev it up. When it dies, I have no spark and the trigger line for the coil glows dim (with test light) with no pulses. When running it is bright and pulses. Usually when a transistor goes into cascade failure, this is how it acts. I saw in one of the threads, that someone had used a late 70's GM igntion module to replace it. I'll have to go check schematics, but it should be possible and not too hard. If I can find one new, I'd like to go that route, or some kind of bypass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
