Won't Start!
When I checked voltage at coil when cranking it was battery voltage, dropped down when in "run" position.
As I attempted to explain, the key provides TWO sources for ignition power
1.."In run" the dark blue IGN1 "run" buss feeds power under the hood to the ballast and ignition system, the VR IGN terminal, and any other (later years) component under the hood. Electric choke, smog doo dads, alternator field, etc
THAT RUN POWER GOES DEAD WHEN CRANKING!!!!!
2..."In crank" (start) the brown IGN2 which is a separate dedicated contact in the ign. switch, and comes alive ONLY during "start" feeds power to the coil+ side of the ballast. This feeds "hot" battery power to the coil, as well as "backfeeding" through the resistor to power the ECU.
So ONE MORE TIME
Key in "run" engine stopped: Coil + V will run "say" from about 6V to about 10V
Key in "start" engine cranking, coil + will run "same as battery."
