Maybe a ignition modual...they get hot and quit working, then they cool and start working again.

The ignition modual(that is what I call it, also what it is called at the parts store) is mounted on the dizzy and will do what you discribe..a bad coil will also do that too, but seeing that you have a MSD, I would guess the modual.

Incorrect on the location... its actually mounted on the passengerside fender well... his car is a 95.. so look under your air intake, itll be mounted over there!

i also found in a few cases the power wire going to this module would become open when it got hot and do the same thing. that was only like twice though, its usually just the tfi module or ignition module. and like mattdel said, a coil sometimes.
