Well, this has happened 2 times in the last 2 months, my car will be running fine, then when i shut it off then go to start it again, nothing. it cranks but im not getting any spark. The first time it happend, i let the car sit for a week and tried again, (in the field doing training) and yesterday the same thing happend. So i had to get a tow to Ford since i was on base i couldnt leave my car sit overnight, I took it to ford and as soon as they push it into the shop and turn the key, Bam it starts right up. They said since i have an aftermarket chip im throwin a 511 code so they couldnt 'properly' run a diagnostic which they charged me for anyways. So i spent $160 basically for a tow and for the dealer to start mycar right up. What gives? My dizzy, coil, both MSD boxes are good/new and i have all new everything minus wires.

sounds like a ign control mod. to me. I would go get it tested. Autozone does it for free. When you do it make sure they do it atleast 3 times, that way it gets nice and warm. Sounds like its failing after it gets hot.
