Slick 60's

Well Christine tried to kill me on wednesday evening heading home and again yesterday......She will eventually succeede......What is with people and Optional turn signals?

But on a brighter note, She left me hanging this mornin in the drive way.

Started her up to clear the frost off the windshield (yes FROST in Phoenix) (Well Glendale) she ran for about three minutes and shut down..

It had shut off yesterday but restarted, and twice while in traffic a couple of days before but caught and kept running.

She will crank to no tommorrow but no fire. Tach has no movement upon cranking.

I am thinking either the TFI module or the Puter relay.

Any other suggestions?

Oh 1988 EFI 472 with 88 harness and puter. And no i did not yet code out the OBD. Thats on tonights agenda.

Dave, not one that you will like but since you asked

throw the electronics here:

LOL....

Yes but that 472 delivers a consistent 15 MPG with the puter attached. So far i have about 14K on it since built and this is the first glitch.

Garbz

Dave how bout moving with less traffic like Tucson or Tombstone

With the no tach movement while cranking, my 1st guess would be to check out the magnetic pickup in the distributor.

TFI

No Mag pickup..

Uses the thin Film magnetics....

Biggest POS out there.

Garbz

I see. Well...maybe it just needs a BFH.

Sweet!

And she started right up upon threating her with that hammer.

Stumps me.. I will code it out and see what hard and soft codes it spits.

Check to see if your tach wires are grounding anywhere. Had a grommet wear and the tach wire insulation was rubbing on metal, eventually it grounded. It was hit or miss and would stop the truck dead, sometimes it would fire right back, others it would crank all day. Took a long time for me to diagnose it. A little electrical tape and a new grommet, never had the problem again.

Don't let 'er get ya Garbz. Got some blabbin' to do at SS3
