Hey guys

I sorta have an ignition problem NO ses light

Every time it rains hard the truck starts fine but when i get out of the driveway a noise comes out of the tail pipe It sounds like a poping sound out of the rear exhaust pipe. The Truck wont go over 1500 rpms when this happens . Also when the engine warms up it goes away after driving it a few miles

I did change my cap and rotor 300 miles ago

Wires were changed also

plugs are good

Every thing is ac delco accept the wires and the Igniton modual

I think the ignition mod is causing this since its not delco

My pops changed it back then when i got stuck.

Just wanted a 2nd opinion
Thanks for reading

 

Where did you get the ignition module? Ive heard about these things being picky,sorta like the whole use only ac delco/delphi fuel pumps thing. If it pops out the exhaust etc like that it sounds like its messing with the timing etc.

Let me look around for a min i bet i can find you a cheap ac replacement,il edit this when i find it.


You got the tbi or cpi? I should know this already...pfft lol



edit : Okay for tbi its 76 bucks. BUT if you use the code visa at advance auto online it knocks off 30 bucks. so 46 bucks. a few bucks more then the knockoff. You got any junk yards up there? I think i can get em down here for like 15 bucks used if you need some help

 

I got cpi and yea it was the dump car quest brand Im going to be replacing it with a delco

I agree its messing with the timing so i do think its that Ignition mod

 

Id replace the module just for peace of mine. Im not running anything store brand anymore. Sick of the pos parts.


also another thing too,The cat could be plugged. Might be time to buy that magnaflow afterall :P

 

the cat is new I didnt buy the store part my pops did at the time

but yea I will replace it with delco once we get this flooding stuff situated

right now fema is cleaning all the towns that got flooded

 

oh yea your in ny...how bad were u guys hit personally?

 

I dont live in the city any more but up in the mountains wasnt bad

the towns bellow the mountains got flooded badly

From what i heard today ever since the power got turned on and my net was back up
that one of our water dams gave out .

I dont know if its true but yea no one got hurt or either any deaths

Thank god for my welder machine that i had power the 2 days the power was out

it got to the point the gas stations were out of fuel also

 

i bought a delco one today from advance with the code

the old one was very humid i think that was the problem any ways ill find out if the delco one works out when it rains hard

 

Ok guys i went to start the truck today and the coil aint giving me any spark


would the ignition mod cause this ?

also can the ignition coil be tested ?


Edit: I changed the module back to the cheap carquest brand and she fired

Turns out to be the delco they sold me is defected and is going back tomorrow

 

whhhhaaa? defected? ac delco? gawd. Your the lucky guy to win the lucky prize! lol
