As I recall the last time this happened, I drove about 10 miles, went into a store and then came out a tried to start it. It coughed and sputtered initially when I turned the key. In other words it tried and almost started but then died.

I went ahead and put a new coil on it last night. I had 4 different guys at work tell me it was a coil problem. I took it out this morning and ran it to the next town and back. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then tried to start it. It sputterd and tried to start but acted like it just could quite get it. I turned the key off, pumped the gas peddel about 6 times and tried again. It gound for a couple seconds and then roared like a lion! Idol was good, rev it a little and it did not choke up and it sounded great.

I turned it off and let it sit another 30 minutes or so and tried it again. Same symptom. Try to start and sputter a few times then nothing. Pump the gas peddel a half dozen times and then try and after 5 seconds of grinding it caught and fired up.

It seems as though the coil may have made a slight difference but it is still kind'a iffy.

FYI: I do have the air cleaner set up that was talked about a couple posts back.

Sometimes It really sucks when 10 people are checking out your car. Especially when it starts like crap.
