Sorry for my wordiness, here's the boiled-down gist of my current two
problems:
1) my car won't start. starter cranks at normal speed, battery
appears to have correct amount of charge, fuel at rail. I am assuming
that I may have a failed coil pack. Looking for ideas and if I am on
the right track.
2) my IPC is possessed. During the winter I had spent most of my
driving time without an illuminated dash cluster. On occasion, it
would come on for a while, but then go back off after a bit. I tried
two other IPC units from a 1986 and 1989 car, and had the same
results, so I tried cleaning and working with the connector on the
wiring harness considering that it might be the culprit. But now that
the weather has been above 60F, it seems to hardly fail at all! On
70F day, I can drive for an hour and not have a single occasion where
the dash blinks off. I am wondering what the connection could be
between my dash cluster working or not and the temperature outside.
I'm going to test my coil packs today and see if any of them obviously
fail. But, I am totally lost on the cause for #2...weird...any
thoughts?
