Ok, i put the new cardone select distributor in a few weeks ago that i got from rockauto and timed it with the advance wire unplugged for base timing. Everything seemed to run ok. Today on the way home from work i noticed it randomly stumbling at a steady rate of speed at 70mph, the tach needle would randomly twitch, and the shift light would flicker on and off during the twitching, and i would feel a power loss during this.
Is it possible i have a bum module? The truck seems to run fine when its cold. No problem going to work early in the morning. I had to make a stop on the way home this afternoon and everything got hot from heat soak under the hood. It was right after this, that the problem started this afternoon.
The truck also has an older accel E coil. Do these break down causing this sort of problem, or do they just quit altogether? The spark plugs are AC delco R43TS series and have about 7K on them as well, but somehow i doubt these are the problem.
I also need to note other than a minor random miss at idle, i did not have this issue before the original distributor module quit and left me on the side of the road, but have it after changing the distributor out. Nothing else was changed.
