Product Overview

A truck that loses spark when hot, stalls suddenly, or will not trigger the coil can have a failing ignition module. Pickup-coil output, coil resistance, power, grounds, ECM bypass signal, connectors, and distributor shaft condition should be tested before replacement.

The module switches ignition-coil current inside the distributor and generates heat in normal operation. Correct heat-sink compound beneath the module is essential; dielectric grease on the connector is not a substitute for thermal compound under the metal base.

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.

Model, production date, serial number, connector, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original component and reference information before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the module fail only when hot? A: Yes. Internal electronics may open as temperature rises and work again after cooling.

Q: Why is heat-sink compound required? A: It transfers heat from the module into the distributor base; without it, the replacement can overheat quickly.

Q: How do I confirm this is the correct part? A: Match LX340, vehicle engine and year, distributor number, module footprint, connector terminals, pickup-coil leads, screw spacing, and ignition schematic.

Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
