    was driving home this arv and the engine cutout and wouldn't restart even after 2 hours, the previous owner said he replaced the dizzy which has the crank sensor correct so that rules that out probably, also has new regulator. I did notice the key would only unlock the car when I'm very close. I have done a lot of reading and am lost for an answer, help!!!!!

    The previous owner said it used to happen to him but thought it was fixed

    Don't think the 5.0L came with a CAS, But it might of been a Cam Angle Sensor instead. None the less it could be your "Hall effect sensor" that is playing up. Is it throwing any error codes?

    Woke up early and walked to the car, still won't start even when cold. Which pins do I bridge again? And procedure?

    Faulty coil or ignition module. Ignition module is the easiest to replace. Coil is difficult due to lack of clearance. See if you can borrow an ignition module from someone to see if that's the problem.
