2000 chevy van did not fire now it does

[Dale]

Hi guys:

I bought a 2000 Chevy low mileage van to install a rebuilt Butler in. I was letting my son use it to be sure all the bugs are out before I sell it. Last Friday it died-no fire coming from the coil. We towed it home. Today I got time to fix it and it started right up! I guess I need to be thankful, but not when I'm getitng ready to sell and gaurantee it. Has anyone had this to happen to them?

Sincerely,
Dale

Had the van been driven right before the coil quit? I have had them quit firing when hot and work fine once they were cooled down. I have also heard of moisture building up and causing similar problems
