Won't start - sometimes

I'm working on tuning my 92 Z-28, using the Craig Moates ALDL, Burn1 and Tuner Pro RT. I've got his adapter to be able to swap chips in and out.

Sometimes the car won't start - it just cranks. I pull the chip out and it will start right away on the base memcal. I put the chip back in after starting it on the memcal, and it starts. Once it wouldn't even crank (even on the memcal). A few minutes later it started.

It's got a brand new MSD, so I'm ruling it out (it did the same thing on the old dist). Any suggestions? VATS, ECM?

thx.

You might want to post this on the prom burning board, or maybe pm Vader. I think you'll get a better response. I'd help you out, but I'm just learning the prom burning basics right now. For that reason...I'm pretty sure you don't want my help,lol.

It's already up on the ECM board - I'm just covering my bases.
