Mine will start verrrryyy weakly sometimes, like will only spin over just enough to get it started. Other times it will crank right up. Also, if you've ever heard the noise your car makes when you try to start it with the firing order wrong or whatever, it makes that noise sometimes while starting...kinda hard to describe the noise... When I floor it from a start, the car will get loud but is really really really weak until somewhere between 1-4k rpm, then it lunges forward.

Could it be a bad fuel pump? People have told me that whenever their fuel pump went out, the car just wouldn't start. I'm pretty sure this is a fuel or ignition problem.

Mine seems to fixed now. I just resoldered the main relay, put in a new pump, and new fuel filter. So maybe you oughtta start with the cheapest? I think it was the pump tho

wow...still working on this? Don't replace the dizzy...I didn't mean replace it. Try to borrow someone elses dist. A minor defect in the sensors inside will not be fixed by a dizzy swap. I still think its the dist. But do what you must.

I'd be willing to bet the things I said will fix it. Im pretty positive i had the same problem that hes having. His symptoms and mine are identical except mine never pulled a CEL, and it just so happens both are y8s. I would buy an aftermarket fuel pump. If it doesnt fix it, ill be of value to you when ur car is boosted
