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)

Likely you have a connector spade or 2 or 100 that have oxidized over the years. This is the dirty look that connectors get over time. When you giggled the wires likely you moved the offending contact until it made a good connection again.
I've removed connectors and tried to clean the connections either with a small file or hobby knife. You can try a contact cleaner spray but they don't do much for the oxidation on connectors. Sometimes just removing and reconnecting connectors will do the trick...or make it worse. |
