LX178
I need an ignition module for my 1992 LX178. It's my understanding module from a 285 320 345 425 LX178 LX279 F725 F911, is the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought one from eBay for my LX188. After 15-20 years of heat and vibration the capacitors in the control board dry out and short. Pretty much normal. The control board in the dash did the same thing within a year. Measure the coils with an ohm meter . The secondary side can fail if a plug is shorted or if plug gap is too wide.

I have spare control board and experience the same symptoms with it installed. I'm 99% sure it's the ignition module.
Thanks
