Howdy, I have exhausted all of my knowledge, and need some advice.

It started about a week ago.

I was driving like I always do on a nice sunny day. all of a sudden, bang, my car backfires madly and my car is dead. I check the usual suspects: points, connections etc. I clean the points, and it starts driving again, poorly. I change the resistor for the ( aftermarket) coil. I can't find points or a condensor. The car drives fine as if nothing happened. Me Happy!

Then the next day, boom, the car is dead, I clean the points and limp home. Now: new points, new plugs. new coil, new condensor, now rotor. and I fix a connector to the alternator. Car runs better than ever.

Today, no backfire, but car dies. I change all that is left on ignition. new cap, another new condensor, new points again. new plug wires. car no start.

I have rules out these problems one way or another:

NOT THE RPOBLEM:
points,
coil,
condensor
resistor
timing
ignition switch

The timing belt has not skipped a tooth (car would not run at all if it was this, And it certainly not run well then die then run well again)

I am getting power to the points, and to the coil.


Any other suggestions? I really need help

P.S. I am posting another issue too "what engine do I have?"
