How do I know if my ignition module is going bad? My truck has been stalling while I'm driving it almost as if you turned off the Key.
Thanks Mark

It sounds like that's your problem. Common signs of a bad ignition module would be shutting off as you described and sometimes starting a few hours later. Other times when they fail the truck will not start at all. This is a common problem on early TFI models due to heat from being mounted directly on the distributor.
