Now the snag, I drove to work when ariving I went in like normal. When I went to go home the car just cranked and cranked. Not good. I popped the hood and discovered the signal wires from the igniter to the dizzy ground itself out on the exhaust manifold. I pulled it off and the car fired right up. So i have the car mostly sorted.
You are giving me flashbacks to my 88 celica again, stripped out alternator bolts and all.
