Default Running issues 4x4 sapphire

Hi all,

Can anybody help.

I've got a 4x4 sapphire cosworth that is stalling at random, tested all sensors etc, the fault is pointing at the ignition module ish, when its been tested running there is a break in power at the loom running into the module , the module is fine but can't understand what's causing this break in power, it can also be a nightmare to start because of the same problem. Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you checked the loom blocks in the engine bay by the bulkhead.
Known problem on the 4x4

Is the break in the power not the 'switching' and so normal?

The pulsing coming from the module is fine then power just stops, then car cuts out, if the power comes back the car picks up again and runs till next time it breaks unless its stalled, then it can be a pain to start, it's wierd
