90 wrangler 4.2 starts, after 5 sec. loses spark

I usally just hang around and read other jeepers problems that match mine but I have one I hav'nt seen. I have a 32/36 weber that seems to be a bit finiky to say the least. After I start my jeep it will run for 5 to 10 seconds and then just die. Originally I was thinking it was flooding out for some reason so I went through making sure I had the correct fuel press. through my regulator and all was fine. Then for grins I checked the spark after it died, no spark. most of the time it takes several hours before it will start up again and the rest of the times it takes a day or so. ( this sure makes it hard to turn it back into my main ride again). If anyone has any ideas on this I would like to hear them. Thanks.

P.S. what a kick but forum by the way.

My guess is coil or ignition control mod.

Had much of the same problem once. Changed the coil and it solved the problem. Looses spark when it heats up. Good luck. Spiritree
