You may have a dirty connector. Sometimes the wires running to the dist. will break. Sometime if you just unplug the connector and plug them back up will work. The crankshalf position sensor connector will get dirty and do the same thing. It is at the back of valve cover on drivers side. Two wires runing down to the back of bell houseing :cheers:
