Default B16a : sometimes it starts, sometimes it does'nt.

If it is going to start then it does so without any hesitation but sometimes it starts and then slowly dies. A friend told me that it is most likely either the igniter or coil. Anyone have other suggestions?

- Thanks.

Sounds like a good guess to me. Does it have fuel presure when it acts up?

If you have spark, its probably the main relay. If you don't have spark, check and make sure your ignition switch is working, then check the coil, then the igniter.
