New member...help needed

Hi, new here

searched the posts and did not find an answer

1989 GTA with the tpi 350
car starts and run five to 10 minutes then shuts down and won't start again for anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours, cranks but no spark. New distributor, coil, and wires, all connections clean and ok, all grounds are ok, fuel pump and pressure is with in the manual specs, all injectors with in spec..any idea what else it might be?

Distributor module overheating or computer. When it happens shoot the distributor module with freeze spray and see if it starts. If not, shoot the computer and see if it starts. Replace the bad one. If neither does the trick, go back and verify fuel and spark. I have seen a fuel filter cause the exact same symptom described. The filter will pass gas barely and then collapse and seal off the flow when it collapses. Slowly it will open back up and the engine will run for a few minutes until it collapses again. That would be my best guess right now.

ignition module can cause that easily.. Does that dashboard have a check engine light on or no?

HI new member having problem unlocking radio in my 1988 GTA Thanks

Assuming you have the radio with the steering wheel controls, and the radio is displaying "Loc", press the "MUTE" button on the steering wheel.

that hasn't work yet! but i will keep trying! i though there might be some other way or a different radio that will work with my controls. know of any? thanks

Sometimes my steering wheel controls do not respond - probably due to age-related connections issues. Recently bought a new battery. Had to press "mute" several times while turning wheel and finally got it to unlock radio.

Sounds like clock spring is worn in steering column.
