I've been having this problem all summer. Every once and a while the car will not start after being run for a little bit, cranks but no start. I have replaced the plugs wires cap rotor, fuel pump, and the main relay. if i click the key over everyonce and a while it starts then dies (note i don't hear the fuel pump turn on) then i keep turing the key back and forth i hear the fuel pump turn on then the car starts and runs fine.. i am seriously stummped as to what this could be causing this intermittent no start. any ideas are greatly appreciated. if ya need more info to help don't hesitate to ask. thanks a bunch!

 

If your not hearing the fuel pump prime, then fuel maybe out, if not the main relay maybe going out also, although it was replaced. You can also check your ignition coil that might giving you a problem. I Would also check the fuel filter, it just maybe clogged.

 

i've replaced the fuel filter too. whats the best way to test the internal coil in the distributor?

 

check your ignition switch also, the contacts may be going bad.

 

ignitor inside the distributor.....the little brown square thing with 4 wires going into it

 

def. a distrubuator prob. i have customers come in with this problem all the time just get a new dizzy and if you can sprint for a msd blaster coil and msd cap or modify the stock one msd is easer and not that expensive also get your self a fuel presure gauge besides looking sweet under the hood it will all ways help you start diagnosing as soon as you have a problem you can either outlier a fuel problem or determin a fuel prob.
