Icon2 my car is just rurning but not starting?

b20v.
blox FPR
the car does this at random times...mainly it does it after i've driven it and have shut it off.it just turns and turns but wont start, it will after letting cool, or if i push start it i've replace the coil, the rotor and the wires and the spark plugs and the battery, but not the cap. I've also replaced the main relay for the fuel pump.

what is it.

MAN! i cleaned the injectors. and i think that it might have been the problem. bit they only build up on the outter lip. and a little bit of dedrie in the filter insert. how does this effect the filters?

is it misfiring? Is your distrobuter giving a spark for every cylinder?

well if it runs strong once it gets started then its sparking in every cylinder. But you might need a new dizzy. This happened to my friend with his GSR. Finally it stopped starting all together. He found that the dizzy had cracked and had oil in it, so it had to be spinning faster to create a spark (not sure why).
