ignition module again?? or....?

[andrew21]

wow...after buying a remanufactured distributor, then exchanging it for another, as it went out immediately, I finally got this festy running. It's been running strong for a couple weeks, figuring out an oil problem and other stuff, and then suddenly the other day it cut out completely while driving along in 2nd gear. It started up again, but then last night I started it and it died, then today again, it would mostly just turn over but not start. We checked for spark and it was intermittent. Usually no spark, then sometimes we got spark. We checked the coil and it's ohm readings are right in the appropriate range. could it possibly be ANOTHER faulty ICM, or is there something going on here that I don't understand? I found some mention of the pickup coil on some people's similar problems. any input?

two modules

I trashed two modules before I installed an inline resistor for my Accel Supercoil. Believe me, a resistor is a lot cheaper to replace than the electronic ignition module inside the distributor. Actually, I have never had to replace the resistor yet!
