sorting thru some issues and decided to start with cap and rotor, ** updated to 11/20 - 3 issues causing 3 overlapping problems- resolved Options

I have not seen scratches like this before in a cap.; bad rotor?

- see the last post-
1 bad CHT
2. bad TPS
3. bad f.i. injector trigger points plate.

NOT MPS,
NOT cap, rotor(although i did replace these too)

so since i last posted about this, i have tried a couple things. replaced that TPS and that made a huge difference in running down the road, and might have effected the idle in a positive way, but i replaced the CHT with a brand new one, then started it up and once warmed up to temp i began adjusting the part load on the MPS because it was running way too lean, and i believe that was much of the idle issue , so it ran great on saturday for a half hour trip - (also put a new coil in )
parked the car and the is what happened this morning: (also posted to the "what did you do to your 914 today" thread):


i TRIED to drive it today but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) it didnt want to start, partly because i think the battery is getting weak, but it usually cranks up on first turn, but it was like it was missing or not firing on all 4, like if i had bad points but i have hotspark module-
Saturday it ran fine, after putting in new coil, drove for 15 miles for test drive, ran perfect, came home, idled in driveway for a few minutes while i was monitoring temp and checking A/F readings, then parked it. That was just 4 days ago, so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . almost started, was very rough, died, then would not get going.
didnt have time so i gave up and drove the other car to work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

i'll re-check grounds tonight and maybe switch out the points module and/or FI points and see if that makes a difference- but if feels like a spark/electric issue not fuel.

so im not sure what i am missing- just does not make sense
