I finally replaced my igniter. The one I got is "aftermarket" I guess (factory connectors, but does not bolt in factory location - different shape). Truck now runs just fine, until new igniter gets hot enough to burn my fingertips, then engine shuts off. When igniter cools, (20 seconds of water poured on it) truck cranks right back up.

I tried 3 different coils (cause I got'em). Same results. I got auto parts to trade me for another igniter (they call it "ignition module") and I have same results except truck has not shut off yet.

Does factory igniter get hot under normal operation?
