Ok, but why did you replace those two modules? What were the symptoms, and did replacing them fix it?

Any suggestions? Do you know of any more sensors that could be bad? The only other component that I can think of is the distributor, but what are the odds that thats bad? I really have no idea what else to do and summer is upon us. It's over 100 degrees already and I need my car. The chopper's great, but not when it's like riding in an oven. haha

I didn't see that last post. The last two times that the ignition module went out the symptoms were different. The first time was with the original engine and the symptoms were that it didn't start, or turn over, at all. The second time was with the new engine, the same symptoms, wouldn't even turn over. Both times it fixed the problem. This time the symptoms are different, but someone suggested it so I figured I'd try it out, not too expensive.

distributors aren't that expensive and it sure as heck sounds like ignition to me as well

you did of course make sure the pcv valve isn't stuck ( you didn't mention if it's all the time or off idle) as well as the egr is functioning.

But, it sure sounds like ignition to me

PCV and EGR seem to be working (diaphragm moves). The distributor is the only thing left for the ignition right? I've replaced the cap & rotor, ign. module, plugs, wires, and coil. Do you know of any sensors that it could be?

So a new distributor didn't take care of the problem either....out of everything replaced thats the entire ignition system I believe. I did notice that the A.I.R. system is missing a bolt and loose (the compressor, the part that has the pulley). Could that be the cause???

The problem was a loose ground wire on the rear of the block. There's one on the front of the block that comes from the battery and one on the rear of the block from somewhere. The one on the rear was loose. All that work and it turned out to be a freakin loose wire. Go figure.
Thanks for all of your help though, it was appreciated.
