Did you have a look at EF & EC 445?

I am not able to figure out why your ignition becomes intermittent, though *maybe* you have a hard to see leak, proper ignition leads mileage and age wise can 'punch' (I know my translator did not translate that word very well), I mean the high voltage may have went through the insulation somewhere. It can be so small hard to find, I test that by touching everything when engine runs, might give you a nasty shock, using spraywater at night works too.

I also would suspect the connectors of the ignition leads, those can be stuck and break down by inserting and removing, it can be parts that are clicked together, not welded or so. And you can Ohm test your cables, that is in MA-24

if this helps you, send the money to the forum

p.s. The coil replacement was for a new one? It still sounds as a coil problem too, my coil replacement actually gave power increase while there was no problem selling the old coil, I replaced for one with same mileage, I did throw it away though and it both had clean connector, that little round hole I mean. If there is oxide it will stop someday.

Well I lost my mind and cut the hole harness out.

Will replace it this weekend.

I had a similar problem and it turns out to be a barley broken wire to power transitor. If I checked voltage it would show battery, but after warm up it would drop. I had to cut the wire back and solder/heat shrink new wire. Also I had an extra o2 sensor plug that I used as a donor.

I have replaced so far:

Ignition switch
Ignition relay 1/2
ECU relay/ground
Checked all fuses.
Replaced coil
Tested distributor.
Changed spark plugs/cap/rotor

In desperate need if help.

The person who leads me to resolve the issue. Will be rewarded $100 via PayPal gift.

$100 for resolution of my dreaded ignition issue.
Ok today I replaced the whole engine harness for one that was working.

The car started after a few tries. The car would only start if I cranked and let go the key once it gets spark. Seems like there is low or no ignition signal when cranking. yay but went out for a spin the car sputtered and died. Could not restart.

Got the car towed back home.

Back to square one

It happened after the oil feed touched the starter relay.

Replaced the starter and this started happening.
