After a new timing chain, ingnition coil and module and coutless hours taking and retaking the balancer, A.I.R. pump, water pump off the car; I found the solution to the mysterious run stop run...... The rotor screws had backed off and where rattling around in the Opti-Spark. I cant believe it ever ran. Needless to say the screws and everytjing else got a more than adequate helping of Locktite.

 

same thing happened to a guy on here. goes by the name of 95zpro. his just stopped dead all together. opti was fine just the cap and rotor pretty much disintigrated.

 

what were the symptoms of this... can you explain more on the run-stop-run????

my car has been acting weird ever since i drove my car through some puddles of water.... It runs fine on initial start, but if i turn it off and turn it back on in a short period of time, it backfires, pops, etc.... All i do is turn it off and turn it right back on.... and most of the time it works fine, like nothing happened.....

 

yep had it happen to me before...

 

Mine was about to fall off, i pulled it apart while i was doing a head swap and one screw was sitting in the bottom of the cap, the other was ****** *** loose. Needless to say the opti was junk anyways.

 

Yeah I was rolling down the street and as I recall the bolts holding the optical wheel came loose in the middle of the street ! Joe, I found my other problem it looks like a bolt backed off the crank hub causing it to wobble. I'm probably going to tackle it this Friday in order to see if I can get someone to rethread the holes...

 

havent had this prob yet

 

neither have i lol.
