Not sure what's going on with this one, it runs when it wants, then quits suddenly. I replaced the cap, rotor, coil, and coil wire. After that it seemed to be running fine. It suddenly quit running, and is not getting any spark. It won't fire when I shoot a little starting fluid in the air cleaner, and I did check the voltage at the coil and it says 12.3vdc. Any ideas?

Hello, I did replace the ignition module and the car started right up. Unfortunately, it was driven about 1.5 miles and everything went out. No power at all.
I haven't had time to check into this situation yet, any idea where to start?
