so take the cable off the distrubitor cap and hook it up to the neg side of the battery? I can try that. I'm also recharging the battery. It turns over fine, its just tickin me off because it started no problem before and then the last time it started it died after idling. Ever since then no start. I've cleaned all my fuse links by the battery and cleaned the connections in the holder itself. I've even changed all the relays above the ecu to no evail. Just got to keep pluggin at the problems. The PO also has the fans turning on at engine start as well. Can I unplug the fans and see if there would then be enough volts to start? He has them wired in to be on all the time.

I was thinking about that too. Can I just delete the black wire from the box and connect the white wire to the battery to see if thats it. I just want to hear if it gets any spark. I will be replacing the coil in 2 weeks so hopefully that isn't it. Like I said it ran then died and now it seems like no spark. I will check the black fuse link. thank you

I never had a problem till the one day my battery went dead. No clue why but will check all my fuse links and my ETAC. Is it possible for the coil to short if I jumped my car? It started before and after I jumped it, it started, ran for about 2 minutes and then died. Now I have no spark at all. It sometimes stutters like it wants to start, but no go. i replace some of the fuse likes from a local junkyard. They have a complete car but the engine is missing most of the top end. Could you jump the timing buy jumping the car and repeatedly tried to start it. could replacing the ETAC fix my charging problem, and what can I do to get it started again. Thanx

Its an 88 auto. I picked it up for 700 and drove back from fitchburg to my house. About an 1 hour away. Tranny need some help, it skips 2nd and shifts to 3rd. Have to check the vacuum lines and make sure they are good. Then on the way back the engine sounded like it missed a couple times. It did it about 3 times. Going highway speed then it started to chug and popped and then it just kept going. Definetly got to look into the fuel system. He said he had bought new injectors for it. The car need some work, fuse links, all connections, vacuum lines, etc. Glad I found this place.

When I got the car this is how some of the electrics were wired. I'm replacing the wires in the fuse link and cleaning up connections and found these just lying around. Some were cut and nothing connected. Others were sliced into the fan. My guess was to keep it running at all times. Now I'm having problems with the charging system. When I get it jumped it will be fine right away after I turn it off, but If I let it sit for a day....no charge. Could this be because of the wiring hackjob!? I tried looking through my chiltons, but has nothing on the wiring. I will try to fins the FSM online and see where I could go from there. ThNKX.
