In my '85 Corvette I have gone through, what appears to be, 3 distributor modules in the last month and a half. The first was after 67K miles. The second one lasted one day (then took out the coil along with it) the third seems to have gone out last night. I am up to 3 tows with AAA which means I am getting on their PITA list.
I have changed out the distributor cap, rotor, coil, and module twice and this will be the 3rd one. With the symptoms I am sure it is the module again. The two things I have not changed are the capacitor (which I am told is only for noise supression) and the pickup coil which I doubt could effect the module. Perhaps the capacitor is taking out the modules so I might change that too this time.
The trouble is my once reliable Corvette is quickly becoming an unreliable car that I am afraid to take out of the garage for fear of needing a tow home.
Anyone else ever had this type of problem with a Vette?
Thanks.......Bob
