shauno Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I just replaced mine cuz my last one melted due to some strange issue and it still gets warm when the car is running. Is it normal for the transistor to get warm or hot? Everything is grounded very well and all the connections are soldered. Could I have a coil on the fritz? Can someone check their car to see if they experience the same thing? Please and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shauno Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Can anyone help me out? I've changed the coil, transistor, plugs and so on. With my ignition on and not cranking, in about two minutes the transistor is hot and the coil is getting warm. I've checked all grounds and am just pulling my hair. It does start up but still gets hot and idles really rough, as well as missing and popping in the intake. ahhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Harness could be shorting out somewhere. Track it before things get smoky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
