Hi guys, I have a 92 325 and when it is getting warm the ignition is erratic ( like it's loosing it's fire). It is a low voltage system so each cylinder has its own coil. I used a insulator spray on them and no change. Any body as a solution for me? Thanks

coil per cylinder...what you might check to see if the casing is cracked on the coil. YOu have the 3.0L 6 right?

The casing on the coil that runs down to the plug is known to crack, so when it heats up or its hot the spark will arc off onto the cylinder and give you a misfire kinda feel.
