i have 1981 toyota, put a new distributer, coil and igniter in it. It runs fine till it heats up to 180 degrees, the tach starts jumpin around and it cuts off and wont fire anymore. Wait and let it cool down it will start back up and run again till 180 degrees and do it over again. Do any of yall have an idea whats goin on?

 

i had that same problem once. but i had my coil/igniter ran directly to the battery, i used a ballast resistor to help fix the problem. is your ignition hooked up all factory?


were those parts new new, or just new to you?

 

Yea it is, i put a new distributer from a 22re and a coil and igniter off a 22re on it, im gon go back through it and see if i have any loose wires.

 

a 22re dizzy wont work properly. you need the 22r(carbed version) the one with the vacuum advance canister on the side of it.

 

Man i got er runnin. The re dizzy works great. Hard to start cold, but once it gets warmed up, i can tella big power increase.

 

Would you have an 22r or a 22re? I have a 22r and its a beast.! That engine has been in my family since i was born!
