word thanks, but i took off the "dizzy" cleaned it out tightend the little spinning thing and still no luck. as a matter of fact i just did that today. im running out of ideas man.

 

any codes? make sure the fuel pump is heard priming when you turn the car on.

 

i think d15b7 block w/ 1.6 si non vtech head...it has an si intake manifold so it dont have a carb anymore. is that what you mean by prime the fuel pump?

 

take it to a shop.

 

the last option

 

find some one to help you. no offense but you don't sound very informed on working on cars. this site is very helpful but you really need someone to help you out if you gotta do it yourself. it sounds like a distributor problem. you might need to replace it or it's internal components. what exactly does it do? just not run some times, or not start sometimes? check your ecu for codes.
