control module failure
Can someone please tell me why my control module keeps failing? I install a new one and within 5 minutes with the engine running it stops working.

Re: control module failure
The ignition control module needs to have a good ground to the chassis. Did you remove the paint on the back side of the module at the bolt down points before you installed it? Also, what about the points on the chassis where it bolts down?

Re: control module failure
I did remove the paint as well as adding an extra ground wire.
