I would not touch any Accel product with a 20 foot pole. They have historically given me nothing but trouble. Caps, wires, etc... ALL GARBAGE IMO. I've tried them on two separate cars with the same result. Garbage. In my current car, the cap failed and it wouldn't even start. Drove me nuts.

I'm not alone. I know that carsavvycook has had the same experience.

Go with Standard brand components or stock.

Is your current module bad, or are you having ignition problems?

If not, you know the old saying: "If it ain't broke,..."

BTW, I've only ever used Accel coils (one came to me in a trade, one of those huge "Super Coils", the other was on a V6 GMC w/4.3L engine). Had no issues w/either.

i'am not sure if module is bad. put new wires,plugs cap and rotor .but car is burning up ground wires and just didn't know if i should replace module,because i don't know how old the one in car is not sure if i'am sending out to much voltage with accel coil over stock coil.car starts up great when cold,but is hard to crank over when warmed up new battery,wires and starter plus new alternator.any suggestions welcome

Check your main ground cable to the battery, possible bad connection or cable to small.
