Maybe driving is over-rated, after all...

Well, on a whim I removed my catalytic converter today. WOW!!! Rotsa rotsa power, out of nowhere. Guess the old one was pretty clogged. That didn't help my stalling problem, though--and I see by the board that the problem has spread to some of my fellow Jeepers. My bad.

How exactly do I test the ignition module? I know about the old 'pound it with a hammer' test, but I was wondering if there was a test light circuit I could try or something like that.

I've also printed out Bob's TFI parts list (Bob wins the Mother Teresa award for this quarter) and I'm a-goin' parts shoppin' this weekend. Maybe slamming the plugs with more voltage will help. If not, at least it'll make me feel better :D

i think the easiest test is to simply replace the module. i dont generally advise that but in this case.there is no real way to test the stupid thing. btw, i would resolve this problem before upgrading.

I agree that driving is way over rated I just HATE driving my Jeep. I hate driving it so much I only drove it 4500 miles last month. As for the module I'd just replace it. BTW our local NAPA can test modules, you might check with yours.
:cool:

Joe'
Have you tried the pick-up coil in the distri.?I had the same probs and drove me CRAZY!!
-random stalls,let set 20 min. and ok
-hard hot starts

I replaced:wires,plugs,igni.module twice,coil and it turned out to be a $20 part and about 20-25 min. total time.
I used two screwdrivers to pry in place of a puller,just wiggle 'em back and forth.Pull off the distrib. cap,remove rotor,remove retaining clip and you'll see what I mean.

Our fellow Jeepsters are the ones who helped me on this.Let me know what happens.Dyl.
