Ignition problem

My 84 ta wont stay running. It will start occasionally and then the tach bounces and it dies. Then it wont start for a couple days and then it will fire up the first time, run for about five minutes , and thendie.Ive replaced the distributor, coil, and hei module but nothing works. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: Ignition problem

are you getting spark to the pluggs? if not try replacing the reluctor ring. 8 pointed ring in the bottom of the distributor, you have to take the distributor apart. had that problem on a '69 Camaro years ago. change the condensor in the dist' it is on the wiring harness inside the dist' awating your answer
