    Distributor/Ignitor problem

    My car seems to start fine with no hesitation in hot or cold weather, but after running for apprx 15-20min if i turn it off it wont turn back on, it will crank but wont start. What I've learned is that if I let the car sit for 15-20min it will start right back up.

    This is what it does after turning off:

    0-5min from no start - cranks but doesnt start

    5-10min from no start - cranks and almost turns on, RPMs flutter up to a 500ish and then it dies

    10-20min from no start- starts up and runs like a champ... till i turn it off again.


    I've narrowed it down to the ignitor/module, is my guess correct, or could it be something else?


    If it was the main relay, it would start at all in hot weather, right? I've had the CB since feb/march, when its not hot in AZ, and its been happening since. I dont beleive its gotten over 100degrees in AZ

    If you haven't had any stumbling, I would go after the main relay first. There's a DIY on resoldering them, which can make it a free fix.

      The main relay usually won't cause the car to quit after it's already running. I think you're on the right track with the igniter...I experienced the exact same sequence of symptoms you are describing and it turned out to be the igniter.

                  Could also be your starter, when they go bad they show the same symptom.

                    Bogging, lurching, whatever. Basically, when you are accelerating, does the car seem to jump/jerk/hesitate/misfire any? If not, I'd do the main relay before the ignitor.

                    If it does it to you again, try sitting with your driver side door open and your fan full on foot level. When my main relay was going I did that and it cut my wait time significantly down.
