        Ok I put the old coil pack on and still does the same thing. What's the next thing I should check?

          hmmm, stock coil, dist, starter and hot starts are sometimes harder on my '92 till I give it gas like it has a carb (it's EFI)... I guess I should buy a new TFI and keep in the glove box?

              It has a new tfi on it. That's what I originally thought it was.

                  Tfi can be tested right?

                    Replace the PIP when even you replace the TFI module.

                      Alright I decided to just retire my 26 year old distributor and picked up a msd billet pro. Got it set back to 14* as the old distributor. Car starts up every time now. New problem now. When she is idling she would just stall and fuel pump still be going. Seems like I fix one thing and a new problem comes up. Any ideas?

                          I know right. I tested for that before putting the new distributor in. Pressure held. No quick bleed off.

                              What would be the best and safe way to do this?

                                Test light to power leads. Coil will be red/green for power. I'd have to look up tfi, I don't recall off hand
