sudden death!!!

Hello, here is my problem.
My `90 astro all of a sudden wont start. I changed pluggs, wires, rotor and cap. It just won`t fire up once in about 20 times. stone dead.
The starter runs, but it`s like, the ignition isn`t on. Then I leave it for an hour or so, and she fires up perfectly like nothing ever happend. When it runs it runs great. smooth idling, good performance, no stalling. Does anybody have a clue whats wrong, or where to start looking??
Thanks!!

Glad to hear you got her running. And thanks for the update.
Hi nowman

Just a heads up here and a Rule Of thumb to go by is:

Any Electrical or Ignition part: AC Delco or Delphi.

Brake shoes: Raybestos-Wagner-Bendix.

Front End parts: Moog.

Hope this helps.:)

Thanks Matrixx!!

Good to know which brands delivers quality parts. I am about to start the prosess rebuiling my front end again. about five years ago my wife "lost" the lower balljoint when driving. She called me and wondered if I could come help her out to change the flat tire!... she was lucky, doing 30 km\t (14 mph?)
Well,.. after that I rebuildt the front end changing all the balljoints, tie rods and idler arms. But I feel It`s time to do it again, including a belltech lowering kit.
So I`m heading for moog parts!!

That's a sharp looking van. Where did you get those door mirrors at?
Thanks for the compliment!
I bought the side mirrors on ebay...
Currently laying in a hospital now, but I'll post the ebayseller when I come home and get acess to my home computer.
Cant remember the sellers name now.
