sounds like a cold solder joint in the main relay

i think ill hit up a junkyard for a relay then...damn just from a very hot day this could happen? what colors the relay? is it the blue box under the dash? thanks

Slammd Sol

its a little black box with 4-6 wires going into it. I believe its by your fuse box

does the relay click when you turn the key on?? might be the distributer

not sure if it clicks.......would the dizzy just all of a sudden not work like this? its slowly started doing this and got worse and worse until now .......dont start at all....it has only done this in hot weather though.

turn the key if you can hear the fuel pump prime, then it is not the relay.
check your starter.

starters fine. i dont think i here the fuel pump kick on.....actually i know i dont. i turn the ign. over but it doesnt prime.

start there, the fuel pumps get like that when they are dieing. mine did that too, when it was hot out it wouldn't start, then i replaced, no problems since

I would start cheapest to most expensive.

Main Relay-
Fuel Pump-
Dizzy-

I think that it is the main relay. Good luck
