Default Thruster DFI problem

H Guys

After starting and running the engine a couple of times, it wont start at all now. Big spark at the plugs and seems to be getting fuel. The symptoms sound a bit like an engine with the timing out too far when it wont start. When it was running the software was matching the timing on the pulley.


Second time this has happened. Last time I took the distributor out and re – timed it and it fired up.



Have you any ideas, particularly on how to check the distributor as the troubleshooting charts don’t seem to zoom in on that sort of problem when its been running and then with no changes wont start. It’s a new battery and a big one so I am getting plenty of voltage.



Engine is a 415 Chevy Motown and I have the Accel Dual Sync. I am running on returnless setting as although I have a return to the tank I have no vacuum to the regulator (is this right)



Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards
Mike
