I had this same issue, check your plugs, wires, then check every wire to your coil. I was having the exact same symptoms and was told that I needed a new ignition module as well. But when I did the visual inspection on my coil I found that the ground wire to my front cylinder had broken inside the wire, when I pulled the coil off the bracket it fell in two, quick wire repair and the bike ran great.

You are right Buddy. I believe you can get a module, coil, plug wires from Ultima for around/under $200 depending if they are on sale.

Thanck for all the help. I have had the bike since it was new. The same thing happened when it was a few years old and it was the sensor plate. I have replaced the coil once before. The wires arent that old. But Iam just going to buy a coil and wires go over the whole thing. Then see if it is the module. Thanks again everyone for your advise.

S E module
I just purchased a S E module from my dealer for my 87 TC. The part# is 32596-96. It was $120 plus a harness #32408-90 for $42. The module is no longer listed in their parts book, however my dealer called around and located one for me. As advised check for any obvious problems first. Hope this helps

Don't mind getting ragged on-but I thought BB4xl was asking for a part #. As it just happens I recently installed that S E module, a Crane 210 cam, new HD lifters, adj pushrods and 20 over KB pistons in my 87 tour classic. Sure woke up this 22 yr old evo. Nothing for the dragstrip but it puts a smile on my face!
