#353251 Next time it does not start, check to see if it is getting spark. If it isn't, I think your coil might be going out. I've seen them be intermittent before and not work when the engine is warm.

Or if you know someone else with a z6, swap distributors for a few mins and see how it starts then. (Be sure to mark the position of the distributors on both motors, so you won't need set timing again when you put the dizzys back on.)
If your car starts fine with the other distributor and the other car doesn't, then you found the problem.

Also, in your first post, you said you replaced "Plugs, Wires etc..." Did you also replace cap & rotor? If not, that should be the first thing to try, since they're cheap & easy to do. :thumb:
