hey fellers....okay, latly my problems occured more than ussual. the first time this happened was several months ago. didn't occur agian till about 4 days ago. then it happened agian on tuesday, then agian tonight. each of these times it been only once, not reoccurent. anyways...my car will not start. it will crank over just fine, but there will be no fuel. the injectors won't fire. if i come back and try agian about ten minutes later, it will start right up, no problem. anyone heard of a problem like this? or what could be the cause it?

Does it allways do it after its been driven and parked then you come back? or cold also? My moms 84 buick allways did that when it was hot.. It was the ignition module in her case.

Basically had the same problem here awhile back, car would never start on the first try, you could crank it over for 5 minutes the first time if you wanted to and it wouldn't start , although i never had to wait 10 minutes, i'de just have to try the second time and it would fire up ,plus i'de have to work the throttle to start it..............bought a MSD 6A and haven't had a problem since, starts like it should now too, don't have to work the throttle anymore.

ignition module is fine, i replaced a while back, the injectors don't fire when it happens. it very rarly happens. like i said, its only happend a couple of times. im not to worried about it, since it hardly ever happens, but i thought i would try to find out what the problem is, incase the problem escillates.
