MX3 stopping

Hello,
I have a 1993 MX3 v6. About a month ago I was driving to work and the car just stopped on me (20 minutes into a 30 minutes drive). I tried to restart it, but it wouldn’t start. I called a tow company and it took them about 2 hours to get there and while they were hooking up the tow truck I tried to start it and it started. About a week later the same thing happen again. So I change the distributor, cap, spark plugs, and wires. But the same thing happen again. The car seems to start after sitting for about 2 hours.

I been having the same problem wit my mx3. it dies when i axcelerate and when it hits 3000 rpm. Its starts when i let it sit for a min. i had ran diognist on it and it showed no problems. I want to know have you found the problem, because im STUMPED!!!!!!!!!
It makes me mad

It's the internal coil circuit inside the distributor. When it heats up it ends up causing a short. Simple fix is the HEI conversion and external coil.

http://www.clubprotege.com/wil/howto/hei/index.htm this is the walkthrough on the conversion , I think it costs about 60-ish and maybe 2 hours for a novice. When I had my 1993 I had the same thing happen to me repeatedly and at a cost of 300 + for new distributors..it was a expensive problem.

Also mx-3.com may end up being a little more resourceful for you.
