Heres the issue on my buddies car.

The car will start in the morning, get to work but around 12-1 it will not restart. If you wait 30 mintues or so, it will start up.
This was going on for a long time but now the car wont even start after we started messing with it. *****Car turns over and then dies******

From reading this forum Ive guessed
-Main relay
-Coil
-Thermostat ECT (the one under the distributor)
-Distributor

any other ideas?

Main relay is replaced.
Coil was replaced no change
****???***ECT was switched out real quick, just unplugged the plug from the harness and put the new ECT in without installing it, would an ECT work if its not screwed in to at least start the car or should I install it completely?
-Could this be the distributor? that part was the last part I didn't try becuase its a $180 part compared to the 50/52/and 20 ive spent on relay, coil and ECT

 

Have you checked to see if you're getting spark and fuel?

 

Yes, spark plugs are wet and I used an inline spark tester. I also forgot to mention the coils on plug and spark plugs are brand new as well (replaced like 5k miles ago)

 

Have you checked all of your grounds?

 

As in the big 3? Like ground from battery to chasis, and chasis to engine? Or minor connections somewhere?

 

The ground on the thermostat housing particularly.
