It runs!!!

The car is running and it looks like it's not a wiring problem, at least not the factory wiring. It appears that it is the MSD 6 box or it's wiring. When I removed it from the circuit, the car fired right up.
I'm going to do some more testing and then pull the MSD box out and see what it takes to get that fixed if it isn't related wiring.

Much thanks To Jeff K for many phone calls and emails.

I'm sure you are much relieved to have it running again.

Good News Pete. I was beginning to wonder what happens when a Turbo guru like yourself gets stumped. Where does that leave the rest of us? Glad your back on the road again & Flyin High.

87 Turbocoupe - Bought as a Parts Car, but runs & needs a little work. Looks like we will have HIS & HERS TC's.

Thanks guys. I'm glad it back.

Tom, I haven't had to look for that stuff yet. i decided I needed to take the MSD stuff out of the circuit - just to be sure, and while I was checking for injector firing, it started up on 3 cylinders. I am going to go looking for that C304 because I want to know where that one is.

Chris, the mods are pretty much done for this season but there is a whole lot on the list for next year.

Tony, I've always maintained that I'm electron challenged [Image: biggrin.gif]

Pete, I did look at one of my TCs yesterday. There is a R/LG wire in the black plug I mentioned, so that should be C304.

Tom, "Thanks I will look for it. I still got to look over the wiring to the MSD and test it by putting it back in the circuit, just to make sure. The car is running just fine on nothing but the MSD blaster coil. Had it out this morning and it screams
