I hope someone can help me with this. I have a 97 Camaro with 122,000 miles on it. It had been running fine until a few days ago when it just turned off on me. When I tried to turn it on, the starter would try and crank the engine but it just wouldn't start so I pushed it to the side of the road and waited like 5 to 10 minutes. Then I tried turning it on and it turned on at the first time. It ran fine the rest of that day and the next. But the following day the car just wouldn't start. A couple times it actually started for a couple of seconds but the rpms only got to about 800 and it turned off right away. I let time lapse and tried it again but no luck.
So I replaced the ignition coil and ignition control module but no luck. The car has the P0133 code which is for an oxygen sensor but its had that for a while now and I really doubt that is the problem.
My car is fairly stock. I replaced the spark plugs and wires about 2.5 years ago and I also replaced the optispark and fuel pump about 2 years ago. I've only put about 20,000 miles on the new optispark.
Does anyone have an idea why my car won't start? Thanks.

So I unplugged the wire going from the ignition coil to the distributor and it has spark, but I unplugged the wire going into one of the spark plugs and it has no spark. So the problem is with my distributor ![Bang Head](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_banghead.gif)
I am looking to getting the Dynaspark distributor. Has anyone used that distributor in the past? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I think it is supposed to be like a top of the line opti-spark. But I'm curious to see if anyone has had trouble with the Dynaspark in the past. Once again, thank you.
