Well, tested the coil okay (within limits) but I picked up a new one anyway. No sparky still. Hmm, took the cap back off and really looked at those cracked wires that go to the ign module. They even had a little green corrosion on them. Okay, $110 later and a rebuilt dist and Vroom! Fired right off.... then died like it did before. Hey, at least I got the spark back.
Injectors for sure now, either ECU is the same, all ign is new and spark plugs are clean and dry. I tried a trick of keeping the pedal to the floor, then backing it off, floor, off etc as I was starting it. Couple of those and it started stumbling and keeping going, sort of. Little more of that and I could keep it running pretty good. More (full throttle gives the injectors full pressure) of the same and within a couple of minutes it was idling on its own and snapping pretty good on a throttle stab. Well, the only money "wasted" was on a $80 ECU with a $30 core. Not too bad I guess. Wish I would have spent a little more time diagnosing than just throwing parts at it. I'll probably pull the injectors and have them cleaned/tested. That's only like $60-80.
So my issue was the same, injectors, but I wound up having another issue of the dist giving spotty signals. On to driving now!
