Soobkicker

Well, there's 12V on both sides of the coil. I pulled it and ohm'd it from + to - and got about 10 Ohms. + to center tap, 1MEG, - to center cap 1Meg. Good. Checked the amplifier with Fluke/diode checker, and it's good. Yanked the coil and bracket, scrubbed/cleaned connections, re-assembled. Connector to ign amp was crusty, so I sanded/cleaned the blade connectors and WD40'd the female side. All to no avail. Time to check the ECU codes: Pulled dash panel, there's the ECU. Connected (again) the green test connectors by washer motor, turned on ognition: No flashes from little red LED. Disconnected green connectors and tried again. No lights. Tried white connector near green one, no lights. Swapped horn fuse with washer fuse, just cause, NO JOY. SOunds like I need another ECU.... Anybody got one handy??? If not, what's the running price for one?? Does anybody even CARRY these things anymore??

"It could be a bad fuel pump or such." There was no sputtering or hestitation when it quit, it was rolling steady when it stopped like someone flicked a switch. :cool:

"connect green connectors near wiper motor and turn on ignition, listening for fuel pump cycling on and off." Those green connectors have been plugged together since we bought the car 3mos ago. Are they supposed to be DISCONNECTED at some point??

87 GL wagon, SFI. Had a plugged fwd cat. Yanked it, fired it up to see flames upon decel! Took it for a test romp to wake up neighbors and confirm that bad cat was causing power loss above 3K. Confirmed! Pulls hard all the way to 6K! After winding out 4th gear, shifted into 5th, let off some, and suddenly quiet with NO power! Felt just like somebody hit the kill switch. Lights still on, oil press good, 1/2 tank gas: push in clutch, rpms quit. Coasted to stop. (Did I mention it was dark, and we were way the hell out in BFE with vulture-sized mosquitoes??) She cranks normal, but won't catch. Towed home, all fuses/fusible links good. Cap/rotor good, rotor spins when starter cranks, so it's not T-belts. Horn works.(sounds anemic, but it works) Re-seated all connections going to/from dist and coil, No Joy. Checked all my pockets, can't find spark anywhere. Please send help before I troubleshoot further with BFH.

It's the stero install - These Soobs don't have much reserve amperage. My son's 87 GL wagaon had same prob 10min after installing new system. Too much of a drain, not enough juice for good spark. Un-hooked stero, -VROOOMM! Found better "hot" lead, all was well. -Good Luck!!
