Hot starting problem

alright- last night I went to best buy- they were closing so I walked directly back to my car and it wouldnt start. It used to do this when I had old ignition components in it, but I just put new PLUGS, WIRES,CAP AND ROTOR IN 5 DAYS AGO! Here is how I fixed the problem though REMEMBER ITS AUTOMATIC............I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE- TURNED THE KEY THEN PROMPTLY STUCK IT IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT STARTED!!! This was after trying to start it by flooring it like I sometimes have to do and by messing around with my msd( I thought I had a bad ignition coil ) THIS MORNING IT STARTED FINE THOUGH! IS THERE A SWITCH IN THE TRANNY THAT COULD BE GOING BAD OR NOT MAKING A GOOD CONNECTION WHEN ITS HOT? It was like the thing wasnt getting spark at all- is there any way I can hook up a switch to the coil with a dedicated line so that I can MAKE SURE IT GETS POWER?

well I dunno, maybe that is dry weight or something. Even then 17 gallons of fuel doesn't weigh 300 LBS

I have the LZ model (La Raza)

I know what happened with that hot starting thing, I shocked the computer when I was messing with my afc while I was driving- I was showing my g/f how it worked and I havent played with it in a long time since it was in my NX for awhile, and I accidentally set the throttle for the deceleration-- it konked the car out for like a second before I realized what I did and set the throttle back to zero...........all good though- whenever my boss gets the digital camera back I will take some pictures and post them.

DUDE BOV'S ARE THE SHIT!!!!! I SCARED SO MANY OLD PEOPLE LAST NIGHT!!!!!! Oh my god its cool- girls in traffic are like "do it again, do it again!!!"

Hey Jake, Balliztik makes up the other 300 pounds himself man--- thats not gas-- LOL

J/K- hahahahaha

I have the apexi twin chamber ( so what if Im a label whore-lol) You have to remember my car is automatic to man. I have to get off the gas for it to work.....Ive gotten pretty good with playing with it though. It is running fine- I hooked my AFC up to my car so I could adjust the deceleration, but I didnt need to use it--- thats actually what caused this whole thread anyways- b/c I was screwing with the AFC while the car was running-lol

Its sweet though man- oh its so damned cool
