RE: New owner with a problem
if you have no injector pulse this goes beyond plugs and wires. you have bad wires somewhere that are heating up. trace all the grounds coming out of the firewall for the PCM. look for weak spots in the wiring's sheathing. any folding or anything of that rubber would indicate a heat issue.

take it to the store and back, get it home, shut it off, if you can get a laser thermometer, or feel some of the electronics to see if one is just extremely hot, don't grab the components, it's worth a shot.....

actually wait, ummm... i think the injector pulse is created by the PIP in the distributor. if thats the case, that isn't too bad to change. if someone else could chime in on this one and verify?

RE: New owner with a problem
I had this same exact problem and it was the started solenoid. I also had to replace the positive battery cable. I would come out of the store and it would not start, I mean nothing totally dead. A friend of mine happened to be at the store and we pissed with it and that was the problem. Really wiggle that crap around.

RE: New owner with a problem
no not really, the heat inside the dist. cap is more caused by heat coming up from inside the motor, and the motion of the rotor actually creates heat, if you know your physics.
