Dude, first of all... use punctuation. like these

k, good?

now, there are plenty of things that could be causing your car to stop turning over right away. it could be that you've got a bad starter. it could be the battery is bad, or the alternator isn't good so it in turn drains the battery. you could've had a bad dizz but that's apparantly been emilinated. do a little research and look into it more closely.

my guess is the starter cause that can be intermittent... check and see if it's the alternator or not. get a charge tester and hook it up to your battery. then start your car and turn on every little doo dad you have in your car. radio up loud, rear defroster, Fan on max, headlight on... everyhing. if your car is dropping below about 13 V then you may need a new alternator... try it. and we'll see what happens...

thats weird they just fixed the timing belt and the distributor

who is they?.. timing is everything. I'd double check to see if all the timing marks line up cause when it's off by a few degrees it will take longer to start. I was just being safe since you call your mechanic a dumbass...
