Breaking down only when hot

[ricknismo]

One thing after another at the moment.

Now when the car is hot (as in I've been giving it a bit over say 15 minutes)

It breaks down like a coil pack or plug.

My theory was that the power transistor/ignitor plug thingy was getting hot and the plug connector to it was coming lose cos its clip is broken, but I carefully wired it together and the sucker still does it. Is it common for coil packs to only do it when hot or Igniters??

its a common problem on the 300zx with the ignitor

engien heats up, solder that holds a wire in the ignitor melts causing to lose connection and car cuts out. let the engine cool and the solder re-forms and the connection is again made

check out www.aus300zx.com for more info, or get a new ignitor

cheers,

Warren.

I have been having the same type of troubles and Nissan cant help me. It has something to do with the electronics but not the coil pack or plugs as i have changed both and the problems still persist.
