Timing belt has been on my mind.....back of it anyway. I do get spark but as you mention it may not be at the right time. If timing is the case I'd hope for a loose rotor before a belt.... we'll see once I get into it.

Let me throw this out there then..... I am pretty sure I have a sensor issue somewhere so what sensors being bad or compromised connection would cause a no start condition ? Not sure how an air leak would cause a no start (not even a pop out of a cylinder) condition....... while applying my Ford 6.0 knowledge which is probably apples to oranges here.

I'll be checking that as well. Thanks for that info, it does help !

Where would the CTS be located on my 88 GL 1.8 Turbo ? The car just stopped running moments after starting it one day. The fuel line is pulsing when turning over so I believe the fuel pump is fine. There is spark at the plugs but have yet to check the rotor to see if it's "loose". Sort of narrowed it down to the CTS from my reading here. Any help on its location would be helpful. And if there is something else i should be checking while digging around in this microscopic engine bay for a no start condition please don't hesitate to post.......

After looking at it closer that is the case. But what is that square green light alerting me to when it comes on ?

Hello all. Picked up an 88 turbo 4x4 wagon........ I need a little help with the dash turbo light(s). There is the turbo light itself (I assume) and a square light around it. What do each represent ? Sometimes the green square around the turbo light itself comes on, usually when it is under load and on the skinny pedal real good. Couldn't find much on this anywhere. Thanks for the help.
