Icon2 D16 dx starting problem, fires but dont go!!



well here is my issue. i start my car and sometimes it will start and it wont start. when it starts and warms up, i can shut it off and it will start right up like a normal car would.

when i first start my car it feals like its firing but it dont keep going. like you crank the motor then you feal it combust 1 time but it slows back down to starter speed and repeats. if i am lucky it starts.

any ideas? is it still the distributor?

drives fine when it runs. only reads the speed sensor code. and when i check the code the srs light blinks.

When the engine won't start, does the fuel pump fail to prime or does it lack spark?

I'd start by checking the main relay, as well as the coil and ICM in the distributor.
