Some funky ignition problem

[taggedd]

Got a good one for everyone. When running the car just dies. I have power to everything but the engine. The starter will turn, but no fire in the engine. New distributor cap, and tested the wiring from the coil forward.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

From your other post I would guess that you're talking about your '83 ZX?

Does it restart after sitting for awhile? How long?

Depends. Could be hours or days. No real pattern.

Thanks.

I would suggest taking another look at the distributor and the ignition module...I'm no expert on the ZX's but the symtom suggests that (distributor), and it's a common problem. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
