just recently got my car tuned. shop found a ground issue soo they added grounds and cleaned up my wires a bit and fixed the problem. brought the car home. test drove it once i got home and off the trailer. drove perfectly fine with no problems at all. parked it and washed it later that day. went to start it, started right up then as it started warming up it started misfiring and sputtering and then eventually died.

thought it ran out of gas, so i ran and got about 4 gal. of gas. started up right after then did the same thing.

checked just about everything. replaced fuel filter. brought it back to the shop (where its currently sitting) they checked all the grounds, added a few more, and even replaced some old wires.

the only thing we could find is that the ignitor is getting burning hot. tried replacing it with another used ignitor and still did same thing ...
scared if i get a brand new ignitor, that its going to burn out like the previous ones.

anyone have any suggestions ??

( running on PFC D-jetro )

Ignitor should be mounted on the intake side of the engine away from heat. It should not be getting hot at all. If its heating up on its own you may have something wired incorrectly.

ill double check the wiring, the car was working perfectly fine because it had been on the dyno for a couple hours. although, it was just hanging there at the time. right now we got it mounted to the strut tower area.

if you leave ign ON and not start it, does it still get hot?

can any one give me some troubleshooting ideas on why my sr wont crank at all, DETAILS: bought a new starter relay/clutch interlock relay whatever you want to call it, bench tested starter, checked grounds, checked the switch behind clutch pedal.
THE ISSUES: i turn key to start and all i hear is the relays cllcking one from under left side dash, and one from behind passenger headlight(what i believe is starter relay/clutch interlock relay)
((((((any help would be awesome i need my car to move again)))))))

I know Im gonna get ROASTED for replying in a 2year old thread, but here I go....
My igniter gets really hot when I leave my key on engine off. I have swapped out igniters and same thing. I have a new wiring harness from Yury at Wiring Specialities, I have tested my coil harness for continuity, passed good. All my car is doing is cranking and cranking....Any help is greatly appreciated
