starting help !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey all im new to the site, at the moment im having problem starting her up. The problem started last week when i start the car, it started alrite but once started the revs keeps dropping down until it stalls. So i tried keeping the revs up by pumping it but the more i pump the gas the less the engine revs and its so unstable. So i stopped and switched off the engine, i started again and the same thing happens but this time when i try and move forward it stalls it feels like theres no power at all. So i stopped again but now i cant even fire her up. I changed the ignitor/coil but that didnt help. Also changed the rotor arm and dizzy cap but that doesnt work either theres no spark coming out of the HT leads. The other reason i can think off is this HKS twin power ignition module it has. It Whines when theres elec to it and the indicator light doesnt come on

Could be a bad power supply (high resistance) to the HKS unit.
May also be the fuel pump.

I had a similar problem, car would start, run for a few minutes and gradually lose power, I was convinced it was fuel pressure, but it turned out to be bad power to the ecu, check all you voltages.
