Replace the ignition module, cap and rotor. Heavy loading of the cap/rotor
contacts and the center carbon are evidence of an ignition module problem,
typically. This can also create problems with the Hall sender which might
also need to be replaced. The Bentley diagnostic procedures are specific,
and tedious. They must be followed step by step for accurate results.

Do test/inspect the HT wires and spark plugs for evidence of strain as well.
