  1. You are correct sir. It came with the Weber carb when I got it. I did check both sides of all the fuses and all had power. With the fusible links, the old school ones are hard to find. Is there a way to make your own with the correct amperage??? Thanks again
  2. .Thanks for the input. As Bennie stated up above since mine is carbed I do not have the test connectors to plug together to check the flashes on my1987 (06/87) GL wagon w/1.8L carbureted motor. I'm just curious how I am supposed to get into read mode is all so I can read flashes that come from the ECU. I do get the whole Morse code sequencing.
  3. So time is fine and yes plenty of fuel. Pulled fuel line, crank no fuel. Must have been residual in line to make sit sputter and backfire.Found one of GD's post on rev sensor. Said if the tach pulse strobes with test light. There's power in and ground then rev sensor is bad. So bad sensor right. I jumpered proper wires to bypass sensor and nothing from the pump. No sound no power My question: can both of those go out at the same time or could I be missing something else?? Also no connectors, and no OBD, how can you pull codes? Thanks again for your time. This car has been racking my brain. All I look up seems to dead end me.
  4. Is there possibly anything in the ignition that I'm missing and I should check!?
  5. Thank you. Pulling timing covers today. Initially checked inspection plugs and seemed intact but we shall see. Pulled covers.belt is tight and intact. How can you tell if it jumped time??? Also have been looking through posts trying to find info on the green code connectors, and seems others have posted also as only finding the one four pin green connector under the dash. Not in engine bay. No black or white connectors anywhere. Found: 1 green single wire connector(male) under dash. 3 blue single single wire connector (2 male and 1 female unhooked under dash. 1 green four pin connector female under dash. 1 white four pin connector (female) No green white or black on passenger side or under hood, or in back tail light areas, or proper connectors under dash on drivers side, which is currently torn apart trying to find this green 4 wire connectors mate.. Is this GL a ghost or a half model. Seems not to many of these out there. So anyone have any ideas on code connectors and their proper location? Anyone. Anyone?????
  6. Hopefully you all can help. I have an 87 GL 1.8L 4x4 wagon Weber Carbureted w/270000 miles. Have had for 5 years now and been having no start issues for about 2 weeks now.Your forums have steered me in the right directions but no luck. I have spark from coil to disty, disty to#1, new cap/rotor, rotors turns in disty so not the time belt. Seems to be getting fuel to carb, it ckokes and sputters and acts like it's flooding out and back fires , and hit the carb with starting fluid, won't even try to fire. Then checked rev sensor (what's up with that stupid thing)have power to the unit, have tack pulse, tried jumping several different ways just to be sure I didn't have wires mixed up. Can't hear pump kick on, but actually never have heard it since I got the car. Assume it's working cuz carb is flooding out. So not sure where to check from here. Any advice ???? would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
