I start my car up and it acts pretty normal. I took it up the street, there was some slight bogging from like 3-4 grand but nothing other than that. I got it home and it dies. After it dies, it wont start up until the car cools down. Its almost like it runs fine up until operating temp then it dies and wont start. What could cause this?

whats your timing set at?

94RedDevil

like 24 degrees. Before, the guys that did my dyno had my timing at 30 and it was running great

HACKGT350

im gunna assume your talking about total timing? what about your basetiming?

if the car dies and won't restart untuil it cools down..check for spark if you have none..it could be a bad tfi module

i'm about to sound like a retard...what is the difference between basetiming and total timing

mjr46

base is what you initially set it to by rotating dizzy...usually anywhere from stock setting 0f 10 degrees to a max of 15...and total is base + cintrifugal(if it's msd)or vaccum advance or/ computer controlled advance ....optimal total is usually between 34-36

maybe a tfi module or even a pickup coil.... when it stops running check for spark and fuel pressure

tfi module +1

I hooked my distributor up to my old coil and the same issues occured. Is there a posibility that it could be the hall effect switch. I dont think that i have a crankshaft position sensor do i??
