Aw crap. I was going to drive my car to work yesterday. Pulled it out and shut it down to get my stuff. Restarted and got as far as the end of the driveway and she died. Restart, died again. Crap, out of gas. Well ok, so won't take it today. Put five gallons in it today and she fired up. Idled for awhile while I adjusted a couple of things. Then she died again. WTH? Started back up and the thing was freaking out. Started acting like I sucked up several valves or my timing chain jumped a couple of teeth. Knocking and backfiring and all hell. Tried several things and checked several others. Everything looked good. Decided I'd pull the distributor and go back to my regular HEI with no timing control. Half an hour later she's purring again( well as close as she gets to purring). Don't know what happened. Maybe like the ECU freaked out and the timing control feature retarded timing a butt load or something. Maybe one of the times it died the comp reset itself to some other off the wall settings. Not sure. Scared the hell out of me though. Was like the motor blew up or something. Going to try going a different angle at this thing see what I can do. The other dist was a kind of experiment. Seems that may have been a $75 fail.
