I'v got a starting problem. my car has the 2.o liter and is awd, manual 5-spd. 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've replaced the coil, and checked for power to the coil. at first it will have power, then after a few attepts to start, no power. I also checked the power transistor, it checked out fine. if it is the computer, where would I come by one? thanks.
