    yeah I am in the same boat... from what I have seen it should be a small plastic ring that has a small stud end sticking out that hits the cam as the wheel comes back from making the turn...I cant find one anywhere or what it would be called..

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    ok..been doing some looking around here and there.. I have a complete color coded wiring diagram for the car, I took the chopped up wiring out from bulkhead connector in the middle marked on my diagram "J" from the back of the connector, pulled the spade out and cleaned it up and rewired for a...

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    ok, no here goes...the original fusible link that is leading from starter relay to the bulk head connector is no more, when i purchased this car it had a blade fuse installed in that spot... with that being said I have pulled all bulkhead connectors in the engine bay, none of them are burnt or...

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    ok ... so decided to check around while i was working on some other things and have the negative battery cable off the car, I grab my probes and check the voltage on the battery side of the coil with + going to the battery side of the ballast and the - side goin on the battery stud and I got the...

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    Tested battery at idle yesterday and was getting 12.2 at the battery and alternator showing 12.2 to 12.5 going to the battery with the positive clipped on the upper lead of the alternator and the . - probe grounded on the body

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    How to test the ignition side ...isn't all ignition side running through it... have a fluke meter... I know how to ohm and check dc voltage but did not understand what he meant by test the ignition side of the ballast

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    With the car shut off I would pull the connectors back just far enough to probe it and it read .8 and took the car down the street and back and it started sputtering and missing so shut the car off and probed again and got a reading of 1 ohm

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    Negative. ..not yet... suspecting voltage regulator or alternator

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    ok guys so here is where I am at now.. bought a new MSD coil with ballast resistor... checked all wires leading to the coil (thinking possibly a bad wire)..started checking voltage coming from the alternator...checks out fine... when I start to drive and accelerate the car will start to sputter...

    Battery is wired fine.....All problems started after taking the cluster out to bypass the ammeter and putting in a new cd player

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    Jumperd just fine ...I was investigating and seen that the power wire the tach is driven off of has let go inside of a butt connector... looking to have grounded out on the radio...so my tach was fried and revving backwards...The small 10 amp fuse on the back of the radio had popped and the 40...

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    Ok...got the 40 amp fuse jumper ed to limp home but my tach is showing 8k rpms...it's wierd

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    any guess to what the problem would be?!!..maybe wrong resistance to the coil?! where the resistor isnt allowing the voltage to the coil?!

    Car only wants to run when key is still in start position

    Hey guys, I recently took the cluster out to bypass the ammeter and soldered and heatshrinked it all like Ive been told. But didnt think it was related.. get driving down the road and the ballast resistor pops on me when Im on my way to work...so I get another one and install it in the morning...
