It's been doing this infrequently since last Summer but now I can't start it. The fuseable link (25 amp fuse on L/H wheel well) and holder are new. I have 2 fuel pump relays, the car does it with either one in. I'm listening to Monlight Sonata. I did a search and didn't come up with much. I disconnected the cable from the coil to the distributer and I get one spark upon attempted start. That's it. Is that right? She turns over really fast like she wants to start but no go. Any ideas?
