I have changed the distributor cap, plugs, wires, pressure regulator and fuel pump. Car still will no start. For 2 weeks the car would not start sometimes, later in the day I would come back and it would start. Now the car will not start at all. Sometimes it will start for a minute backfire and cut off, most of the time it will not start. What is the problem, could it be the computer?

Hi ANNA11,

I believe the fault lies with the PGM-FI main relay. It is known to fail intermittently.
