    TFI module maybe? (plastic rectangle bolted to the side of the distributor) I think you mentioned replacing the distributor so not sure if that included the TFI. When mine went bad, the car would cold start fine, but after it warmed up a bit, it would die. The fact that rotating the distributor SEEMS to help could be its slightly flexing the TFI and making it work temporary.

          What was the timing after you checked it, after hot, and did you check it with and without the spout in, if so, give me both numbers.

                        The wire between pin 36 at the ECU connector and the distributor is damaged.

                          Are you certain of this? This is why the car is doing the symptoms above??!

                                I'm pretty sure the computer is fine. The problem is probably with the wire tuck and the relocated wiring running through the fire wall. He just sounded so certain that was it lol. Will definitely dig into it asap
