You know Tedm that's happened to me twice. The first time I took out the MSD
thinking that was it, and it happened to me a second time (on the Verrazano
bridge of all places). I unhooked the ignition coil and hooked it back up and
it started fine. Since then I've hooked the MSD ignition back up and it
hasn't happened since. Freak of nature?? I got no clue.
