Default 86 tercel 4x4

Now this is a station wagon not my xj. It runs like a top and shutdown after 5 miles or so and the longer it cools the longer it runs between shutdowns after the first time. I love the xj but miss my 30+ mpg from my goofy looking wagon.

Any ideas?

Sounds like an ignition module to me.

Most of these are a bad coil, or ignition module (built into the distributor) make sure to replace the distributor o-ring with the repair if its leaking, they love to leak into the distributor and cause issues.
