Ignition control module Sign In

I have a 2005 saturn view 2.2 l engine A few months ago the car began running badly and was diagnosed with a bad ignition control module.after it was replaced they found the catalytic converter was also bad. I had both replaced. a month later it started having the same problem and took it back. and both the module and the catalytic converter were both bad again. at this point my third Control module has gone bad. what can be causing this ? mechanic said sometimes you get a bad one but three in a row seems odd to me ..please help

Lance

Converters don't get ruined overnight. It takes a good bit of time with a very poorly running engine to do that. I smell something fishy. All this should still be under warranty anyway.

Coils that draw too much current take out ignition modules.
