My 1983 242 just doesn't want to cooperate. What I thought was just a fuse corrosion issue is no longer true. I had it running and driving for a total of maybe an hour over a couple days. Yesterday it stopped running while I was trying to air up the tires so I can finally drive it home.. grr, so frustrating.
I started with the AMM, added sleeves to the ICM pins that needed them and replaced the fuse holder with a waterproof one. Alot the wiring was replaced in the past, except for the light related wiring, alot of that needs replaced.
I wiggled the wires around the ICM and the distributor and it ran two seperate times for maybe 10-20 seconds each. Not sure if that's because I wiggled the wiring or if because of residual fuel. I can feel and hear both relays opening, they are both new, as well. What could cause the car to run, sitting stationary for 20 minutes and just die with no intention of starting again? Hall Sensor?
My distributor has a circular plug.
Also, the injectors are not receiving +12v to the Yellow/Red wires. When they had voltage, it ran.
