or bored and can't actually work on the car I wrote a creative writing essay about distributor rotors entitled "I gave her the finger" It may be in the archives. I propose it may have been the rotor once, but is a weak fuel pump the other times (up hill, engine asking for lots of fuel, hence the empty fuel rail. Since you don't have to crank and crank to start after distributor change, the check valve that keeps fuel in the fuel rail likely is not the issue. If that is bad, it usually requires an excessive cranking time to start. Hall sensor connections and issues even related to spark intensifier usually worsen with heat. Since that could still an issue if CA is still hot carry some computer cleaning spray that has a cold warning. When you stop un-expectantly spray down the hall sensor area. On the turbo's the hall sensor is still at the distributor, but on the 900 S's the hall sensor after (1988 ???) was moved to the CSP near the firewall. I have diagnosed 2 900's with the cold spray. When it shut off I froze the CSP area and car would restart. Instead of hassling with removal of the CSP I just replaced the distributor with a 1988 or earlier 900S distributor. The head light wiper 3 prong connector makes a good connector so you don't have to cut the original plug from the CSP hall sensor. Just splice in the hall sensor wires to the borrowed head light wiper (from a unit not on your car)and plug it into the factory 3 prong plug in he original CSP hall sensor was plugged to. Sounds a lot harder than it is. If anyone needs to do this I have the wire color of the hall sensor wires and the borrowed headlight 3 prong connector you have to splice.
