hi guys i have had some major troubles with my car lately. i put in a new n/a rb30 after blowing the NO'5 conrod out the wall of my old enigne, this enigne has only done 75***km's and sat around a paddock for 9-10 years but it started first go and drove superb for 2weeks but the other day it wouldn't start so i changed the coil and that and still didnt work so i put in another dizzy and still no go, but then i found my old dizzy which worked put her in and it started first go so me and obsesv were over the moon. the next day i was driving home form work and about after 1km it stalled at a set of lights i could start it agian but would barely idle, then it stalled again and was game over couldn't get it goin again, i got it back to my mechanics and changed the dizzy,computer and coil but still no go, i have almost had it up to here with it so i was wondering if anyone would have any ideas on what to try next, or have had the same problem before, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys....

I reckon it would be your cas or afm. Check your leads for moisture or cracks, also check the lead plug gaps to ensure that they connect properly. Here's some more info that might be helpful.

could be what happened to me, power transistor. If it is the PT then you won't get any spark from the coil. But I would say either PT or CAS.
