1991 Mazda B2200, carburetor engine, auto trans, 123,000 miles. After the truck has sat for a while, most of the time it will start right up, and run an hour or more be for loosing ignition. The next time, like this morning, it only ran for 2 or 3 minutes idling and then just stopped running. No fire to the plugs. I check it with a timing light, no spark to any of the 4 plugs. I replaced the ignition coil just to be sure it was OK. Didn't change a thing. Do you think it could be the ignition module in the distributor? Can it be intermittent like that? Thanks jonnielazy
