It will start after sitting over night, but as soon as I turn the key off and try to start it again it wont start. It just keeps trying till the battery dies. It also has lost all power when I was driving down the road. It just shuts down and I have to try to get to the side of the road. Please help!

Check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge designed for your system and comeback with the readings we go from here-

Check for input power to the coil/inspect and test the distributor pick-up coil/ignition control module-

HOW DO U TEST THE DISTRIBUTER PICK UP COIL?

WE CHANGED THE IGNITION CONTRL MODULE AND THE COIL, IT RAN FOR ABOUT 45 MINTUES WE TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. WE WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP.

Disregard the pick-up coil

Recheck the ignition coil primary and secondary resistances. Primary should be 0.8-1.6ohms and Secondary=8K-11.5K ohms.

Check the fuel pressure when it refuses to start
