if you have a tfi module on your distributor im assuming thats what it is. Alot of people have had this problem with tfi modules. Its simple and cheap to replace.

Check all your electrical connections to the starter, etc. Sometimes the heat will make a bad connection expand and get worse. Happened to me once. Good luck.
