Common solution, check your resistance on the ground wire from the battery
to the car, also check ground on the alternator.......I've had problems
with the computer modules going bad as well, my solution, rip it all out
and put the old vacuum coltrolled stuff in...it worked for me on some
really strange ignition problems.....(I have a 86 1.8L in a 79 SCI, the
computer stuff really didn't like being transplanted)
