Are there any starquesters' around the erie PA area???

Thanks for the reply. today is payday so I will give it a shot

I will write a damn novel on my final fix if I ever get there. I realize most of you have been doing this for longer than I have been alive, but for a 21 year old I have alot of automotive experience. and I can not figure this out. Kenny, thanks for the post but my spark is good, no issues there. Does anybody have any other ideas? I could replace the ecu, but I have put so much money in parts already. any other ways to test the ecu? atleast the fuel control part of it? I dont want to waste anymore money on a guess, I also dont have the equipment to measure hertz at the injector clips. Most parts ive replaced were worn, so not a complete waste. but STILL Again, good spark, good, fuel, timing is where it needs to be. Looks like too much fuel while cranking. I just want my starion guys...... 60k miles, beautiful interior and decent body. Im sure atleast a few of you can understand where im coming from.

88 starion. why do you ask?

starfyter, Was his problem exactly the same as mine? Mine died while driving at WOT, was also overheated on the side of the road. what happened to his?

No kidding?? well, I will give it a shot. I found an ecu for 90$ shipped. Oh, I understand thanks. No injector wires grounding out with the ecu unplugged.

And I understand the overall point, but what is a "sneak circuit"? Never heard that term before. thanks as always

I took the ecu out, opened it up. The seal was clearly never broken, no moisture or residue in the box. nothing looked fried or burnt. I will check for ground after work while it is still out of the car.

ECU**

Thanks for all the reply's guys. Yes, after a little research ive ruled out the ignitor. The fpr is good, no fuel in the vac line and it holds soild vaccum, I can feel that the diaphragm is good. I was hoping to hear an ecu was a common problem, but if not, I doubt mine has gone bad. But its pretty much the only thing left. I will pop the cover off and take a look at the internals of the ecm. unless something is obvious I dont have much experience with circuit boards. Anything else you guys could think of that would cause excess injector spray?

Yeah... Im starting to think the same thing. Ive done a little digging and the black box dosent seem like it would cause such an issue. Can I test the signals coming out of the ECU? Can I find that in the fsm? Also, is a toasted ecu surprising on an 88? And yes, the cts is new.

So after 2 brand new injectors and injector clips, the car is still dumping fuel, flooding the engine. Im thinking the ignitor box, my fuel injectors have no pulse, the fuel just dumps out at a consistent rate. Sound about right for a bad knock box?

Will buy, I sent you a PM.

Thank you! I will check it out. A timing job seems do-able without pulling the motor

Car still does not run, I have good spark, and good fuel for sure. Thinking the car may have jumped a tooth, how can I check for this? Is there a way to line up the crank in correlation to the distributor? Please help! thanks.
