Engine cranks and cranks eventually start

Hello members,

I have a 93 auto FD and recently I had a cranking problem. I replaced the leading coil after it went dead and installed a Turbo 2 with a MSD 6A. Note this cranking problem was prior to my leading coil failure.

Here `s what happens, You drive the car hard and then park, turbo time down the engine, 3 min. When you try to start the car 5 min later it just cranks, cranks and cranks. I check for spark and there `s none. As the engine cools off for about 20 min or so, you crank and it starts with no problem. This is an indication of a breaking down coil, so I replaced with another coil and the problem still persist.

Any suggestions,

Andre

Hot-start problems can be attributed to low compression, leaking injectors, fouled plugs, ... just other things to think about. Have you ever checked the compression?

Compression is good. 8.0 across the board...I`ve also been concern about the injectors.
