It's weird.....I've changed distributor cap, rotor, Sparkplugs, AFM, fuel filter, battery terminals......the car now starts and runs(with backfire) - it never did this before. After 45minutes of running the car gives signs like it will shut off. It doesn't give hasitation when gas is given - which is a good sign.
But if I shut it down it can't start back up, then I need to wait until the engine gets cooled off to start it back on.

are you sure that you connected the distributor/spark plug wires correcty?
(easy to confuse them and the result is usually backfiring).
