Title: Wanted ignition module 85 gtv6
Post by: stradale on September 01, 2010, 07:14:47 PM
Does anyone have an ignition module for an 85 GTV6 for sale
The car has a high rev miss above 4000 rpm it is similar to hitting the rev limiter
the engine backfires and pops and the tacho needle drops. As soon as I change gear and lower the revs the engine responds as it should untill I reach 4000 rpm and it starts miss-firing again.
I have swapped the coil, leads, plugs, and computer but the problem persists.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Have you checked that the rev limiter is ok?  It's only a spring in the distributor cap.

Hi Dehne
Thanks for the reply the 90 and 75's have a different system CDI
The GTV has a "hall effect" distributor and a different module to suite that system

I once had a problem with the bosch ignition amplifier/module on my gtv6. I simply drilled the case open and retouched all the solder joints and its worked fine ever since.
