Default 1986 Coupe with intermitent starting issues.

A freind of mice has an 86 coupe that has intermitent starting issues. He has changed the fuel pump repay and appears to have fuel pressure. Once started it runs great. Fuel pressure seems to be ok , the module in the distributor has been changed,and the ignition key has been checked at the dealer. The car has 86000 miles on it. Does anyone have the same isses? What were your solutions? Maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. The starting problems happen at different times weather it is hot or cold. I was thinking it could be the ECM.

Thanks

Need a better description.

What is the car doing, is it cranking and cranking, is the engine hot or cold, does it fire right up after he turns it off?

Does the engine crank but won't start or will the starter not crank with the ignition in the "crank" position?
