Re: '92 SVX burning out ignition modules?

Yes, the "igniter" or "ignition module" or "ignition control unit" is the thing that I've been replacing. Although the problem certainly can be due to something else that is damaging the igniter, please note that the igniter is, in fact, being damaged. For example, after I bought the new coils, I tried the new coils with the first two igniters I had on hand, and the car did not start. I then swapped in the "new" (used, from eBay, but new for this car) igniter and the car ran fine for a few drives, then failed again. This tells me that something (if not the coils, then what?) is "burning out" or otherwise damaging the igniter. Any ideas as to what that might be? I will certainly check again for some sort of "short" - although I'm not sure how that would damage the igniter.
