      I got confused with which cars had which. I only have seven.. Yes you are correct regarding not having a TFi module. Will check crank connections. I do think there also is a electrical wire or connector that is bad. It quits when it feels like. Sometimes it restarts, other times it wont for awhile.

        Ah, yeah seven cars can make life confusing. Check the connections at the coil too. I think that uses that goofy plastic push-on collar thing and the button shaped terminals on the coil. If those are not good and clean it will lose spark.
