Lemon or not

Who did you buy the ignitor from? I got one (with the flamethrower coil) from the US. It turned out to be faultyfrom the factory and a replacement is on the way. Mine would start fine and idle fine but as it started warming up, it would start to miss worse and worse. They sent me the test instructions and it turned out that the module was faulty. It still ran but missed badly as it warmed up (really badly!) , not as the guy you quoted above: "it will only work or not work".
I will be getting the module back in a week or so.

Tap, crackle, pop

Ponderosa mustangs is where I go it from its the lob sensing type not the type that has the magnetic rig and requires the dizzy to be machined down..

Which was faulty the ignighter or the coil?

[taslucas]

Ha! I got mine from ponderosa too! Mine is the ignitor 2, hall effect (magnetic ring). And it was the ignitor module that was faulty. How long have you had yours fitted?

mine started missing as soon as i fitted it. I got new leads, then new plugs, then changed my coil back to the original one but still no change. Then i got the test instructions from the seller and found that the module was faulty so i sent it back. It took 4 WEEKS to get there and apparanlty the replacement was to be sent back yesterday. The seller reckons the failure rate is about %1..... I thought, well, if he sells 100 a month (at a guess) then thats 1 unhappy customer per month.

Hey mate - just to reiterate what has been said earlier - it is not a lemon. As soon as you put a car on the road it starts to wear out - hopefully not too quickly but component wear happens the first time you drive it. I would get it checked over then make a list of the fixes you want to apply and then do any unnecessary (but wanted!) mods after that.

Was yours the Lobe sensing type?
