  1. That's what I had thought. Regardless I checked the basics and the new cap was missing the button that makes contact with the rotor. So I took it out of the old cap and got her running. Thanks for the help!
  2. Update: New coil and ICM came in today, installed them annndd crank no start. The old man is convinced it's an ECM issue cause back in the day he had a similar issue on his old GL which replacing that had fixed. The only problem with that is I can't for the life of me find where that thing is at. Some people say near the stearing colum but didn't see anything there and there's nothing on the passenger side that I can see.
  3. I've cleaned up all that I've seen as far as grounds go, as far my my "fuse block" here's that:
  4. I got a new one from O'Rileys threw it in and I got no spark anywhere, I figured it was just a lemon so I got one off of rock auto so we'll see in a few days if that fixed it. Thanks for the help!
  5. I put a new coil in and now she won't fire up at all even if I hook up the old one again. I have spark going into the disty but I got nothing at the plugs. Any thoughts?
  6. I was driving home from the auto parts store, waiting more money, and as i came up to a light came to a complete stop my brat died. Then it was a crank no start, got it out of the road and checked the basics to see if something had just rattled loose. She was getting fuel, no plug wires were loose. (Couldn't verify spark with just myself) After a new more hopeful tried to start to no avail I let her sit for a few minutes and like magic she started right up and ran like nothing was ever wrong. This happened again about 5 minutes later. And several other times, while accelerating, decelerating and even just holding steady at 2k rpm then would just back to life. However on the last time she blew the fuse for the regulator. (When I got it, replaced the fuseable links for a fuse block) I got her with 116k miles and did a tune up then, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc.. Now has 133k on it Anyone have any ideas? From what I've been able to find could be an ignition module issue?
