Intermittent no start. My IROC is having trouble with hot restarts. Not every time but three times now the car ran fine from cold start but after an hour or so drive if I turn the car off it will not restart. It is a no spark condition. The fuel injectors are fireing and the coil has power but is not fireing. I am thinking that the ignition module is bad. any thoughts?
:WTF:

Still sounds like ignition module. Maybe a short in the wire someplace?

I found the problem! Finely!

The distributor housing was spinning out of round. causing the reluctor to pick up intermittently. It was a PITA to find because it wouldn't always act up and wouldn't throw a code. I ended up fining it because of odd wear on the rotor and cap.
