Burnie.......ignition condenser failures come in 3-catagorys. OPEN; burned and pitted points but will run SHORTED; never ever starts LEAKY; leaky condensers will work for about 1-min and quit; restarts after about 5-min cooldown.
Don't fergitt, yer weaksister ignition switch ($10, cheap) will also exhibit the run/quit/cooldown/restart symptoms too.
Bottom line, condensers are CHEAP so they are always included in a tune-up kit. Most of the time the OLD condensers are still GOOD ...but... are sold as a CYA (cover yer a$$$) insurance.
Most automotive ignition condensers are good for about 200-volts; but sometimes you can gitt 4000-8000 volt feedback that will short thru yer condenser oiled paper insulator, and guess what??? it won't start or run.
There are some good electronic condenser testers ($$$) but since condensers seldom fail, they are a waste of time and money IMHO. .......Dell, retired electronics calibration lab engineer and self-appointed sparkie-meister
