Any thoughts on what might be causing coils to continually overheat causing the efi system to shut down & consequently the engine dying while moving.
Circumstances are just like this posted elsewhere by another individual: "I am overheating and burning out coils, I’ve went through 8 to date. The first time I noticed something was not right is when I drove the car continuously for a period of 2 or more hours, which is when the engine just died on the HWY. I felt the coil and it was way too hot to touch so I waited on the side of the hwy for about 30 minutes until it cooled down and the engine started and ran long enough for me to get to Lordco parts to buy another coil. I replaced the coil and the engine started and ran perfectly, until about an hour of driving when the same thing happened and I realized that I was dealing with not just a defective coil issue."
EFI is wired per directions and vehicle is grounded - battery to head, heads to chassis etc.
Open to any feedback.
