car must be running super hot. most batteries cant operate at high temps. i had this problem saturday after my water pump blew. check your cooling system for defect.... and if it doesnt start pop the hood see if its hella hot like i said.

It will be either the TFI Module or the Ignitor in the distributor. Get a good used Distributor and your problem will go away!!!

TFI module most likely.
