Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Car Cuts Off After Replacing Ignitor

    I replaced my ignitor yesterday and drove it 40+ miles today and had no problem what so ever. Let the car sit for maybe 5 hours or so and then drove it 10 miles tops and it cut off twice like it used to before. No spitting or sputtering no jerking just turned off.. its not hot outside maybe 60s didnt run it hard really. Could it be my Main Relay i didnt replace that.. I think i could hear my Alternator whistle/whine a little.. Any Ideas?

    yes . i would put money on the main relay being bad. mine did the same thing before. i broke the steering wheel once because it shut off going down the road , so i hit the steering wheel so hard it broke the colum.damn it hated that bad relay. get it replaced and let us know if that was it .

    A man that keeps looking back can't see whats in front of him.

      it'll be cheaper if you know how to solder because the old solder contacts tend to come undone in these early models.

          Double check the Ignition Coil, if either the primary or secondary coils are out of spec, replace it again. I had a coil with 27 months of service fail on me, it was a BWD brand.

          Check the Main Relay, but double check it with a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel filter.

          If you suspect the alternator, check the output voltage.

                    If you haven't already solved this problem, my guess is it's the coil. Not the ignitor. Inexpensive and easier than the ignitor to replace.
