run your fuel pressure about 38-40. Is your started wired up right and silinoid? Those would most likely cause that problem

Sounds like the TFI is overheating. Pull it off and have it checked.

Had a similar problem and it ended up being a bad coil wire ![[Mad]](mad.gif) . Would run fine till it warmed up then would die and would'nt start till it cooled off.

Double check to make sure your grounds and the wire going to your starter are tight.
If you are running long tube headers you could be heating up the starter.

sounds like this could be the problem. had a similar issue w/ my carwhen the positive lead tothe starter wasnt tight so whenever i would restart t he engine after driving for awhile, the starter would drag or not turn at all until i let the starter/engine cool long enough. it could also be that your starter is going south.
