I have an 1991 240sx Sr20det red top Just recently got it tuned. A couple weeks after I was driving home from work It was raining and I did a couple burnouts and pulls before getting on the highway the car felt just fine an then I get on the highway just cruising not hitting it or nothing and about 5 to 7 miles down the i I feel like a hiccup I let off the gas and try to accelerate and nothing happend so I downshifted and still couldn’t accelerate but when I down shifted into 3rd while getting over to get to the side of the i I heard this little pop than a slight hiss then when I get out of the car I pop the hood and the ignitor chip was smoking so I went to take it out an burned the s*** outta my hand an then I got it off and looked at it and it had like a bubble near the bottom of the chip and a hole in that an that’s where the smoke was coming from... luckily I had an extra ignitor chip on me so I let my engine cool down and then put that chip in and drove her home. ever since then she still gets super hot even after just being turned on by the time the cars warmed up the ignitor chip gets extreamly hot. Even after the new ignitor chip i bought it still gets hot. I’ve looked on other threads and couldn’t find the problem just it was my wiring harness, it was my ecu, it was my coil packs, i just replaced all of that before my tune so it can’t be any of that. I just put in p2m coil packs, pnp mega squirt2 ecu, Cas, wiring specialties wiring harness oem, ignitor chip, I was told to check my grounds an my coil packs so I sanded down all my grounds in my engine bay and didn’t make a difference than I checked my coil packs they were a lil hot too but not bad and the cars not running like shit it’s just holds back a little bit so I don’t think the coils are bad. But I just can’t find out what’s wrong with it I checked continuity and only has it going to the ignitor chip not coming out the other side of the chip on the wires but the coil packs have continuity too so idfk... Any Help Will Be Greatly Appreciated
