Ok guys heres whats happening. My car is having trouble starting. In thew morning it takes 2 trys to start it. After that if I dont let it completely warm up it wont start again when I shut it off, and I have to wait like 15 minutes before it will start again. I checked it out and found that when it doesn't start my spark plug wire from coil to distributor doesn't get any spark, and my fuel pump isn't turning on. What is the problem!!! I think it might be an ecu. I allready changed flywheel starter and clutch. along with ignition switch and solenoid. Thanks for any help you can offer

Could be the all too common PIP failure. It's a sensor in your distributor. They're known to go out and cause a no-start. It sends the signal for injector pulsing and spark. You have to have a press to R&R the sensor. Most folks just buy a new dizzy.

when it's doing it...check for injector pulsing using a noid light. If you don't have pulsing, look towards that sensor. If you do have pulsing, look towards the coil/ignition module.

i think its the coil

are you sure the fuel pump isn't priming??? and are we talking 100% sure. I didn't think the stator caused the fuel pump not to prime. its more of a 'modern day' trigger.
