My 91 Rs won't start

I bought this 91 rs & i took it to pep boys to have it checked out front to back b4 i purchased it & they said everything was cool except sum minor things like a tune up. The biggest problem they found was an oil leak that they couldn't locate. Now the problem is the car will start just fine for a few days, then 1 day it just won't start. It cranks up but the never starts. Then i"ll leave & come back a few hours later & it will start again. any suggestions on what the problem may be

You need to find out if your not getting fuel or spark.

Carry a spark tester in the car so the next time the problem occurs you can hook it up and observe for spark.


Happy Racing!
