Yeah, it's probably the opti. Also check the coil and ICM.

whats retarded is it works fine then one minute it wont start. its done this in the past too.

in the past it wont start for anything, you give it five minutes then all of a sudden it works. how the **** does that happen? im quite upset with my car right now because i have somewhre to be and its being gay. it ran fine all day, the opti is certainly not wet, the engine is not hot, i dont understand

uh yea so i have a new starter with a lifetime guarentee. i dont think thats it. holy mess on the link, thats awesome. ill have to try those out if it happens again. of course it finally starts immediately and then i have no problems later on. i have a 93 Z and i noticed the fuel pressure guage doesnt do anything in the aux position. maybe mine is different?

that guy seems knowledgeable but he cant spell to save his life
