    sounds like the shit that used to happen with my clubsport

    i had a fuel pump go...to check if yours is dying (even tho its newish)get a mate to smash the tank with his fist as you try to crank it over

    i had a an ignition problem...changed the module and coil and was still haveing issues....ending up being the hall effect sensor in the dizzy....this seems to be a fairly common problem

    yeah id be thinking hall effect sensor in the distributor....u can just replace the hall effect but its just as easy to do the entire dizzy

    ^^what Brendo said^^

    Have you checked for error codes. Last year mine was cranking but not firing. Had Error Code 46 - No Reference Signal while cranking.

    Turned out to be the Hall Effect Sensor. I believe you can buy these and "rebuild" the dizzy but I have also heard it is nearly as expensive as just buying a new one which is what I did. Haven't had a problem since.

    lol.. I use a rubber mallet, but a fist should suffice

    It's the holy trinity for the 304 EFI: Ignition coil and/or distributor with the fuel pump. Good to hear your issue was sorted...
