Does it start back up rightaway or u have to wait for it to cool off
Replace ignition module
The ceramic resistor that they're talking about was used on older models, ur has an electronic module, it's either licated inside the distributor or outside but connected to the distributor
Here is a website where you can see it, It's actually called pickup coil. parts #CR150 from autozone if you have the 5.2 or 5.9 engine
