This so smells like a coil problem.

Another Bob,

I had the same issue with my 100 not too long ago. Are you running a distributor and coil? If so go out and buy another coil and swap it in for your existing one. You can test your coil till your blue in the face and even a bad coil will sometimes test OK when it's not. It is the center set of windings that will fracture and cause a short.

Go to AutoZone or a similar place and buy a new coil. They are under $20 and you can always return it after you try it if it doesn't solve the problem so you will have lost nothing.

Mine would fire for about a minute then die, let it cool down then it would fire again but then quit. I was getting gas, air, and juice to the distributor and plugs but just not enough. Once the coil got some juice running through it, it would heat and the fracture in the winding would expand and create a short or low voltage. This is an easy fix, report back to us with your results.
