Q: it sounds like you have a bad power connection. although someone said that the second gap was lowering the voltage what it is actually doing is increasing the resistance on the secondary side which lowers the current flow on the primary side. your bad connection is causing a voltage drop on the primary side that increases with current and with the coil wire properly connected is dropping the voltage to low for the controller to function properly. your best bet would be to replace the power and ground connections to the controller and see what happens. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving replaced coil wires dist cap rotor plugs with the same type as removed. when i found the problem or symptom i changed everything again with no change. the truck ran fine for many years and degraded to this condition during a weekend. this leads me to believe some component went to hell. think i have too much voltage or too little. gray .
