The first 2-3 times I try to start my car it will attempt to start and sometimes will start and run for about five seconds and the shut off. but if I try to start it more than 2-3 times, it will not get spark at all. I connected a spark plug light to the plug wires. and also grounded a spark plug to good ground. If I let it set for about an hour. I'll have spark again. I can hear the fuel pump and it smells of fuel so I don't think this could be the problem. any ideas ??? Thanks so much. Trevor

I also checked the power transistor, it checked out fine. if it is the computer, where would I come by one? thanks.
