anyone know where i can get an ignition module or amplifier?

 

exactly what part are you looking for? i've never heard of an ignition module or amplifier..... maybe a description or some details would help.

 

some crappy pics of some part of car that plugs in by the coil. what is this?

i imagine you could order one from nissan. part number for it is as follows:
7/83-9/83 turbo and non = 22020-12p10
9/83-8/87 turbo and non = 22020-12p11
8/87 and later turbo and non = 22020-26p10

it's called an "ignition unit transistor" in case you want to try autozone or someplace like that. (that's what nissan calls it anyway). plug in the part number at nissanparts.cc and you'll get an idea of what it'll cost new.

you can also try a junkyard, should be pretty cheap there.

 

thx. with this it'll be much easier to find one.

 

by the way, is this a possible problem to my car. if it gets warm or if it is shorting out will the car stop getting spark to the engine? i've had this prob for about 2 and 1/2 to 3 weeks now.

 

what is your car doing, and under what conditions? I dont see too many of those go out. What leads you to believe it's the transistor that is the problem?? gimme some more info and i'll see if i have any other suggestions...

 

well, the transistor just looks like it may be burned up. i couldnt give you a very good picture on it cuz i was in a hurry and my focus on my webcam is screwed up. but anyway. My car will start up just fine after sitting over night, i get driving down the road and then about 5 to 10 minutes later it will die. after it dies it doesnt restart till it cools off for between 20 minutes to an hour. i've replaced the coil already. the one i had wasn't putting out much anyway. when it dies its not a fuel problem, its a spark problem the spark doesnt get past the distributor. i've also heard that if the fuel pressure regulator is messed up it can tell the car to stop sparking. if you have heard of this evil nasty problem and know what it could be any help would be appreciated. thx

 

Firstly, what year/model is it? Sounds to me that your car is a 1975-1983 fuel injection.

 

WOW! Did you not notice this thread was from 2002?

 

Just think what a 10 year old corpse looks like when you dig it up... pretty ugly eh?

Let them rest in peace.
