calebz Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Five bucks says its a dead disty.. the jumpy tach gives it away.. In my 87, When my disty went, it wouldn't restart when warm.. thats 2 strikes..Its Out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 yeah, prolly bad disty.. do you have the hitachi, or the nipondenso? the disty outa the 83' engine i put in my hatch had a hitachi, and i swapped it with the nippon, since i already had new cap rotor, etc.. so if ya got a hitachi and need one, i got one sittin here..
