Ok...so I was throwing code 9 (cyp sensor)...because my rotor screw came loose and all hell broke out. I just replaced the distributor housing, rotor, cap, leak cover, except the ICM (igniter unit).
Fired up the car...ran fine for 5-10mins as I set the timing. Shut car off.

Come back...turn on the car...notice my tach bounce up and down from 1-3rpm rapidly...but then seems fine...after driving for 3 mins...car dies. Turns on...then dies...now won't start up.

Do you think it's the igniter?

my old distibutor died one day so i changed rotor, cap etc. thinking it was that. nope... changed the igniter.... nope. changed the coils...nope. i ended up having to buy a new distributor. if you have the money i would just recommend buying a new distibutor. it's going to suck, but it's better than wasting all your time trying to find the problem....and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
