Check your ignition control module which is attatched to your distributor. I have had the same problem twice and this was the fix both times. There is a test in the manual to check it. They cost around $40 to $50.

Rude? Don't even know what the word means. Fast Hampster (Hamm) and I went months appologizing to each other for the lost meaning in typed words. As Hamm said, check for fuel at the schraeder valve, if there, check for spark, if there listen for the injectors to click. If clicking, babe, you might just have some serious problems, Get back to us. Hey Hamm, received your PM, just to busy being retired to respond, talk more later.

Or maybe: 
"Is it starting to get really hot, or is it just me and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Im going to run through the steps in the haynes for the ignition testing tomorrow. How much does an engine code reader set me back? I hate to tow the damned thing to partsource just to get them to check it. Right now? Drinking away the fact that I tore the front half of my engine off for nothing!
