What's up with this?
Here's the problem....
280ZX runs fine for awhile gets to temp then dies.
When I pull the coil wire no spark but after a bit it'll spark up again.
Seems to be up to the car how long it wants to take before I get fire from the coil again. In hot weather it'll crank like normal but no spark then eventually fire up to do the idle die routine.
I'm running a Kameari dizzy and ignition and have checked/replaced relays fusible links AFM ECU ect ect and am at the point of just crushing it for scrap but have too much wrapped up in the engine after I did a rebuild 3 years ago.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

It's an '81 and N/A and no where near stock.
I'm using the Kameari Racing dizzy and ICM which is similar to a MSD style controller.
I was guessing its the ICM too but trying to see if anything else may cause the problem also. The amount that ignition system cost I really dont see where it could fail with only 1182 miles through it.
But considering the effects of
(A) Murphys Law
-- in conjunction with--
(B) My Luck
-- and just for good measure--
(C) Expired Warranty
anything is possible really lol
