faulty ignition module
Define can not starts? Won't turn over? Turns over but won't start?
It was not uncommon for a TFI ignition modules to go bad or be intermittent. When this happens, the car will stall. It will turn over, but won't hit and won't start. This modules is on the base of the distributor and requires a special thin wall socket to remove.

Well it turns over but it wont start. it will drive foe a while then it will just cut out! its not running hot it just cuts out. i just got a new feul filter and i know that gas is getting up there to the front because i press this lil valve and gas squirts out.
Sounds like a bad TFI module. It gets hot, and then quits. When it cools down, it's OK until it gets hot again. After so may of those cycles, it's trash.
