The impulse sender in the distributor messed me around for about six months once. Car would start and run fine but then just not start at the supermarket, causing a tow home. It would then start after a couple of hours and run fine.

Then it began to stall right in mid-flight. Let it sit for a half hour and it would start and run fine again.

Local mechanic found the snag by bringing a second distributor around to the car and hooking it up when it stalled a block away from his garage.

I think the impulse sender was reacting to heat from the engine and making and breaking contact.
