My Path is Choking - HELP

Hello All

 

I am extremely Puzzled ...

 

I have a 1994 v6 VG30

5-speed - manual

262,000 miles

 

my 1994 is extremely well taken care of

I do all my repairs / upkeep

 

here's the issue.

 

 

Nov 2017

Idles perfect 800-900 rpm

One day in Nov 2017 - It started misfiring at 2500-3000 RPM - estimated

 

I was told it was the ICM - Ignition Control Mod - was bad

 

So I bought a ICM - installed it - it didnt seem to fix it - right away - so just fooling around - I took off the Coil Wire and reinstalled .. and drove it and wow no more misfiring

Drives like New again

Note: Recent – New: Plugs/wires, cap / rotor

 

 

Now we are in May 2018

 

About Mid-May -- it started doing the same thing - misfiring / backfire running real rough 2500-3000 rpm - no power

So I thought ICM going bad - changed out - installed new ICM - DID NOT HELP

Was told that a Coil that is going bad / getting hot will create misfire

Changed the Coil – New Coil did not fix it

 

So I changed the Cap/Rotor and Plugs and Plug Wires

No Help - did not fix it

 

Was now told that the Reluctor in the Distributor is the Problem and need to install New Distributor

 

Repeat Problem for you

 

Start up – runs prefect for 10 minutes – then engine is at normal operating temperture – then it starts to misfire / backfire at 2000+ Rpm

Let it cold down – starts runs prefect for 10 mins then repeats problem

 

Will a Bad Reluctor create this problem ?
