This is really strange. It starts fine sometimes and sometimes it does not.

You will driving around and it will just dies, but if you u press the clutch and downshift whiel still moeing pretty fast and hold the gas pedal to the floor it starts back up, but will die again.

Fuel pump is coming on and has fp on fp guage inside car, its getting spark also.

Recently replaced distributor, coil, tfi.

I dunno what it is, its really weirdand info is greatly appriciated.

A friend had that happen to his car, after several hundred dollars in parts he found out one of the wires on his starter was loose. Check the easy stuff like that before dumping money into uncerain fixes. Do you have any codes stored in the computer?

Did you not just describe a compression start? I just woke up and might have missed something.

Pull codes, describe your cold and warm idle setting, etc.

Good luck.
