Always starts when cold. When warm, fails to start one out of six times even though starter cranks engine fine. (It seems to be lack of gas or spark - no funny noises occuring). When failure occurs, I must let engine cool down for 3 hours before it will start. Fuel filter & pump have been replaced. Also, new plugs, rotor & cap.

My mechanic suspects the ignition module, but he couldn't get the starting problem to occur when in his shop for 2 days of making runs around town.

What do you think?
