well, it'll start but it might take a try or two
when it's been sitting for a few hours or more it will crank and crank but no catch. it cranks clean no stumbling so i figured ignigtion problem/no spark. i replaced the distributor (not the coil) but it did it again yesterday. plugs and wires are only a few months old.
could it be fuel related?
where should i start troubleshooting?

while cranking when it's cold

check for spark

check for fuel

if fuel is missing then try pouring in some starting fluid into the intake and starting it. if it has an easier time starting then you know it's not getting enough gas when cold

 

The Main Relay manages the fuel pump, but these often go out, and it's often when it's cold. Test for fuel pressure (the test bolt is either on the fuel filter or the fuel rail). Just click the key into "on." You'll hear a whirring noise from the trunk. That's your fuel pump priming the lines. If you don't hear it, you could have a main relay issue.

 

i will give these a try
thx

 

first thing I would check is the battery. In the cold they don't work as well.
