C4 Electrical Problem
I have a 1987 C4 with a starting problem. At times it fires up right away. Other times it just cranks real strong but will not start. I have good fuel pressure. When It won't start I'm not getting any spark. When it does not start with the key I have to compression start it. If I have to compression start it, sometimes it will start for a period of time then it won't start again. It might start up every time for a month or not start the next day. I have bypassed the ignition switch and my mechanic bought something for my car to bypassed the alarm system, it still won't start at times. Can anyone help me?

I could be way off, but years ago I had a mid 80's firebird with a similar problem, it turned out to be the module in the distributor going out. Swapped out the module and it fixed it.
