my car did that a week ago, it would just crank and crank and crank after parking it.

my MSD box died, bypassed it and the car fired right up.

I had a buddy who had this same thing happening to his fox body vert but I lost contact with him..

Have you checked your grounds?

Try pushing the gas pedal, it actualy cuts the fuel on foxes. It could be flooding.

+1 We had the same problem on a car not too long ago and it turned out to be a bad computer. the car would start and run fine but when it was shut off it would flood. We changed the computer and it ran fine.

its a stock 302 with ported gt 40 heads (cast iron) cam, trickflow upper lower, 30#injectors with mass air. could it be because of the injectors being to big???

If you are running NA, 30# injectors are way too big.

Change to 19-24# injectors and see if it'll start easier the second time. If nothing changes, try a friend's computer..
