Starting Issue
So been driving the car and it was running great. All of a sudden Monday morning started the car, it was running and 30 sec later it just cut out. Turn the key and the starter turned over but it would not run, tried it more then once and would not run. So I popped the hood to check the fuel pressure and it was good. I pushed on the spark plug wires on the distributor and all seemed good. Then I turned/rotated the distributor and magically I heard the electronics for the car, turned the key and the car ran. I did not drive it since this new issue popped up. I have been googling it with not success and still need to read my shop manuals, but does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

Re: Starting Issue
You loosened the bolt for the distributor or it was loose allowing you turn it ? I would time the car and tighten the bolt to begin with. Then I would check the wires at the back of the distributor to make sure they are good.
