Has there been history of others having isues with these?
Also .. went home at lunch and with bat unhooked overnight I started the car ??? It ran for 4 min then as it started to get some temp it shut off suddenly without a missfire or sputter .. just emediate stop... Does this still sound like Optispark folks? Any other sensor or componant do that?
I have not checked for voltage at coil and / or dist yet but if any of you think of another part that may cause these symptoms let me know

My 89 started that and ALL the injectors were weak 2 very weak So after fixing that,I have never had the problem again. Hope that helps... Perhaps someone can explain on here how to check the voltage on the injectors
