So I have a problem was nice out today so I took the gt for its monthly trip around the block and decided to go pick my daughter up from school in it (her favorite car). Anyway was moderatly pounding on it and noticed it was stumbling right as my secondaries were kicking in (holly street avenger 670 cfm). Somthing it has never done. I tuned the carb on the dyno with air fuel jetted it, new secondary spring blah blah blah. Its not the carb.
So about 1/2 mile later the tach falls to zero and the exhaust gets hybrid quiet. Pissed off I popped the hood everything looks normal all the wires are tight coil is still atached with key on I have voltage at the coil. Rotors not broke everything looks cherry. Crank the car turns over but does not fire. Then I try to show my 4 yr old how to start the car she cant get the clutch down because she doesnt weigh enough it was a good laugh. Call the wife she gets the kid I call USAA to get a tow its like a three hour wait so I walk home only 2 miles.
3 1/2 hours later the car is in the drive way and starts right up the tow truck driver looks at me like WTF I take it around the block and the it does it all over again tach falls to zero, almost like you flip the key off. I just went back out side and she starts right back up.
So what gives is it the duraspark or what. Sorry for the long story I am half way through an 18 pack. The only upgrade on the ignition side is a super stock coil that was on it when I bought it. The plug wires are new jacobs and the cap/rotor is msd. The spark plugs are good ole autolites
thanks
