lrgvanman Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Inquiring of the location of the ECM on a 1984 Subaru GL - 1984 Subaru Gl 4WD wagon left-hand drive. Erratic start. Does not fire but power to ICM and coil. Does not pulse. Ignition switch fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I have been an auto tech for some 50 years of my 64 and never encountered such an erratic symptom. I have very basic test equipment. Multi-meter and test light and that's it. She ran great for about a week and a half, shut her off one day, and no fire again. I replaced the disty and coil and throwing my hands up now!

GeneralDisorder Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 ECM is not involved in starting on an 84. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Sad to say and this an embarrassing conclusion but silly and the car is now running again. High tension lead somehow disconnected. Hmmm... I want to post a picture but it is too large. Thanks all for answers contributed. Happy Motoring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
