Thanks for the reply.
I can't keep it running long enough to get a timing light on it.
It'll start but will stay running only as long as I have my foot on the
gas pedal, it'll die immediately if I either let off the gas or put a
load on it. And it stumbles, coughs, backfires the whole time.
If I put the ECM in bypass by jumpering 1-2, it'll run marginally
smoother and will last maybe 5-10 seconds before dying if I let off the
gas, still not long enough to get a timing light on it.
That's why I'm going back to the "basics" and doublechecking the
mechanical setup.
Previously owner apparently did a lot of unknowledgeable fiddling on it
before giving up and selling it to me, so God only knows what I might
have to go in and fix or undo. But I only paid $300, so I'm not
complaining.
