I looked at your pictures to figure out that you have a Fed spec car, and not cali spec, because your ignition coil is inside of the distributor and not externally mounted on the firewall.
Had the same thing happen to me a few years back, I would say it's the coil on your car because they usually die right after start up. You can look up how to test the coil online, it's really simple. Replaced mine with one from autozone and it worked perfectly fine. |
