So the back story....Made the mistake of running some Seafoam though my FPR vacuum line on 1992 240 sedan with B230f AW70. The car smoked up and eventually died. Restarted it and it ran some more, throttled it at the engine by hand and it inevitably died again.
Couldn?t get a restart, so I assumed the plugs were wet/fouled. Pulled plugs and cleaned them, cranked engine to dry cylinders out. Reinstalled plugs and still no start, so I pulled #1 wire and grounded a spare plug and had no spark. New car to me so figured it needed a stage zero so I installed plugs, wires, cap, and rotor that I had on hand. Still no spark, but I wasn?t expecting one at this point.
Haven?t tested coil voltage or fuel pump relay yet, but I can hear a fuel pump prime. So instead cleaned and greased the heat sink on the ignition control module. I also looked at the crank position sensor and noticed the shielding ground wire was exposed and insulation was crumbling. Decided to pull it out and replace with a spare, but the sensor I am replacing has a round/oval 3-pin connector instead of the square/rectangular 3-pin that I have seen in every other car? Any idea if there are multiple parts for this application? I believe the car is LH2.4 based on the 5th and 6th VIN and the 016 MAF.
Thanks in advance.
