I was on the NJ turnpike the other day when the engine cut out. I pulled over and checked the distributor and coil, everything checked out. Engine turned over but did not start. I wiggled the main harness and the engine started and ran fine. I have to look for a broken wire or bad connection in the harness. Any color wires I should look at first??? Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Pin one (yellow wire) from the 14 pin connector is the wire for your starter, which obviously works. Pin 8 on the 14 pin connector (black) is the one I'd be looking at. Pin 8 supply's voltage to the ignition coil and the rear blower. The black wire changes to black/red on pin 7 on the 12 pin connector, which runs to the ignition coil.
Which harness are you tugging on to get things to work? When they car randomly shuts off, do you lose the rear blower as well? I don't know if you have carbs or the original FI system, so this is as far as I can help you. |
