Strange Problem!!!!!!!!!!

[Helloween]

Ok, after chnaging my cams to 1.3 from 1.0l, all is sweet timed correctly!! what happened after comming of the M25 motorway i parked up the car and cam back to it after 10 mins, then the car wouldnt start!! puffing and splattering, so i moved the distributor (advance) alittle then went back to the car to start and it started.. on another "emarresing" situation that happened to me yesterday at macdonalds, wanted a drink and there was a que in the driveway and thought let me switch the engine of whilst i wait.. then the engine didnt want to start and had 3 other cars behind me... you can imagine what went thru my head.... done the same again, jogged the distributor backwards-forwards then fired up again!!! but before macdonalds i thrashed car on the duel carriage way, it seems that when i floor it hard and come to a standstill then switch off and on again it wouldnt start unless i play with the distributor..... anyone encountered this problem or anuone knows whats it all aout?


Thanks In Advance

Remember to tighten the bolts enough so that the distributor doesn't retard/advance the time when you're driving. It could be easily knocked out of position through the daily humps and bumps of driving.

How new are the rotor arm & dizzy cap ? Sounds like they could be knackered ?
