So I picked up a 84 GL from a guy that broke down in my parking lot. Found the ignition switch connector was melted and no get power through it. So I spliced them together until I can get the correct connector. Started it up and drove it all day, ran good besides it wont idle(another problem lol) So it was running today and all of a sudden it died. Motor turns over, but no power at coil and no dash light. My free time is limited so i thought I would see if you guys could help me out! Thanks,Willie

I suspect the "new" ignition connection you made.

Which end melted? The key end or the ign end?

I thought so to but i'm getting power at both sides of where i soldered them together. Kinda hard to tell but I think it was the black with white strip that was melting/melted the connection. Also the ecu was flashing one long flash followed by one short one.
