Good Morning
The first time the ignition module went i tough it could not be to serious, but now after replacing it for the 4th time in almost a year I have realized something is totally wrong.
Please can someone assist me on this problem or direct me to a mechanic/auto electrition who will be able to assist me?

Re: Ignition Module on 4Y engine
Ignition module? That was still a points / condenser / coil type ignition - are you referring to the coil pack or has there been an EFI conversion?

Re: Ignition Module on 4Y engine
May be I am wrong but I can not remember that my 4y has that ignition mode

Re: Ignition Module on 4Y engine
Somewhere along the line the old points & condenser distributor has been swopped out for an electronic dizzy. It could be a Toyota one or one that has been modified to fit. Might be a good idea to take it past an auto-lec.

Re: Ignition Module on 4Y engine
The ignition module is inside the distributor@ The Legend.
I have been through all the wiring and connections. Everything is good.
I will try and run it by a auto lec. Any recommendations on good auto lec in Pretoria?

Re: Ignition Module on 4Y engine
This sounds like a earthing problem. My suggestion would be to run a new earth strap straight from the battery to the block of the engine.
If the earth is bad or periodically bad then it tends to bugger up the electronics like in your case.
