Thanks for the suggestion lummert. Before I tried it I put a set in that had dried after my previous attempts. Nice brown insulators. One thing I noticed on the previous attempt to start, was that it was pulling a lot of electricity when I put the neg wire on the battery, key off. Cousin could feel ...

I got the used ECU installed. Some things got better, but it still won't start though it has both spark and fuel. Now there isn't too much fuel, and the light that was stuck on the OBD#2 has gone out. Checked for codes after a bit of cranking, both sockets 1-1-1. I thought it was going to take off w...

I got about a mile down the road before it quit. Crank, no start, flooded. Since then, my electronic repairman cous...
