Re: 1988 wont start
I was thinking the same thing. I was told that if oil pressure gets too low the oil pressure sensor shorts the signal to the distributor, which makes it not run. I am also thinking that their has to be ware on bearings, pistons, rings, valves, lifters, and oil pump. the engine holds 5 quarts we added 3 to get it to full. I am just hopeful because it runs on starting fluid.
I swapped out the module, same. Put the new back in with clean grounds, same. Checked the noid again still no pulse. I pulled the coil plug wire off and turned over the motor it arced to two pair of wires going from the coil to the distributor instead of to the top of the coil.....weird.
So does that mean I should replace those wires as I seem to be loosing energy there? I tested the wires with an ohm meter and they read zero, but with voltage loss maybe not enough for a pulse. I am going to replace the wires. Also seems weird that it arced to the wires instead of the coil. Maybe coil is not grounded...
