I'd vote for a broken wire. The fact that it can start and run sometimes makes me think it's a partial break.

thank for ur help where can i start look for the broken wire i change the inner oil seal of the distributor an havin the same problem

I've found the most common places are near the connectors where there's no wire sheathing. The insulation on the wires gets old and brittle. So I'd start with a visual inspection of the wires around your distributor, coil, and power transistor connectors. Repair and insulate and bare wires.

At that point I'd break out a multimeter and check for continuity between the various ignition components and also with the ecu. Best method would be test it right after it starts acting up again. While you're poking around I'd also test the resistance on the coil and power transistor to make sure the components are within spec.

That's where I'd start. Hopefully this gives you a direction to go in. Worst thing is having an issue and not knowing where to start!

thanks alot i just change the seal in the distributor today had work to go so i an off work tomorrrow so i will check the wires

Intermittent issues usually equal wiring issues or weak components. I'd test the ignitor next. It's your ignition control module basically.

Power transistor or condensor/capacitor.

ok where is that located
