i can get both a distributor and an ecu. would a coil cause this problem? also, how do i check the codes on the ecu, and what is the code for the cam position sensor?

thanks to you and cougar for replying. how do i contact alldata?

hi everyone. i'm new to this, so bear with me. i have a 1987 gl10 turbo wagon which is currently not running. the problem appears to be related to ignition timing. the car will start and run for about 45 seconds, then die. upon reseting the timing by turning the distributor, the car will again start and run, but only to die again in 30-45 seconds. then you have to reset the timing again to get it to start. the timing appears to be moving around schizophrenically. can check the computer codes, and will try to do that tomorrow. i've never done it, but my buddly in south dakota, chef tim, has coached me on the process somewhat. has anyone got any ideas or experience in this situation? would appreciate greatly any advice...
