Dave, Bit cold for walking the streets last night that's for sure. Your best chance of finding the problem is when it's dead believe it or not. One thing with an ignition problem when an engine is dead is that the tacho will not normally bounce when you crank the engine, likewise if the ignition system is working then look elsewhere. The "fire then die" does still sound a bit like I'd still be looking at the fuel delivery - I'd at least want to know what the fuel level in the carbies are like when it's dead.

For example, I was driving around the city last night, the car went fine for 30-35 minutes, then just died. It really didn't want to start or do anything. It would fire and then just die no matter what you did with the throttle. So what i'm saying is that its inconsistent. So what i'm asking is: What the hell changes after about 30 mins of driving? Something is happening about that time which it doesn't like. The missus and I were on our way to the ball and we were late already. We ended up walking about 7 city blocks in the freezing wind with her in heels. Hehe.. boy was I popular.
