ok was going to nappa,car died at the stop sign,wouldn't restart,after a few minutes restarted,went to nappa car dies after pulling out of parking lot. after about 20 minutes car restarts. was able to make it home,car is dieseling and smells flooded. at nappa I wasn't able to get a spark out of the ignition. I'm thinking eithier intermittint coil problem or the module is going again. the warranty on the module expires next month. figures. I have fuel pressure,I'm sure it hasn't jumped time,it runs fine when it runs,except for the fact the ignition isn't working that well. any ideas?

short the coil straight to the battery and then try maybe? and that solenoid in the back of the carb can cause shitty problems like diesling, running weird, and a rich smell

do you have spare coil laying around or another distributor?
