recently developed a starting problem, engine would start for about 2-3 minutes runs perfect then abruptly stops and will not restart. left over night would start then stop but not restart. replaced fuel filter, checked fuel flow and is good. checked distributor for moisture found none.
now vehicle won't start at all.
don't have an extra set of eyes to help check for spark problems.
need help troubleshooting

Here is a way to check for spark. See if it will start with starting fluid. If it does for a few seconds, you're getting spark.

Let me know what you find.
