hi all this problem has been going on for too long ,originaly i bought the car on the gold coast qld drove it home to redcliffe on Brisbane nth side ,it felt a little slugish the next day i set the timing correctly & it was a new beast took it far a spin around the streets then after about 20min it stalled & wouldn't start again ,about half an hour later went back & it started ,got it home ,then it died again . I replaced the dizzy,the cap button ,leads,plugs coil, all good took it for a spin again got back yay fixed ,left it sitting idling then it stalled again .
Got it going again put it in the shop ,they changed idle control valve and tps and said they had it running for ages ,as i was picking it up at the workshop it stalled ,they replaced the ecu with a second hand one from wreckers ,all good again .
It was ok for a month but didn't idle nice now the other day a couple of times whilst driving i had no response from the accelerator then fine again then the next day i pulled up at home (music loud) as i went to turn it off i noticed it wasn't running but no warning light or gauges were working but it would crank . Now im thinking the ignition switch ,has anyone else had this fault from a faulty ignition switch :cry:

Could be a fuel pump issue?
Or some sort of fuel delivery problem.

Did you replace the TFI module at the same time as you did the dizzy?
Did you use heatsink paste when you fitted it?

Fuel pump pressure was checked when it to the workshop ,the dizzy was a complete one from a working ed falcon ,the part that makes me think it is ignition switch is when it won't go the digital part & the instruments don't work on the dash
