I've been having trouble starting for a while now. Today it just cranked and wouldn't pick up. Just a hiccup every now and then if I release the key. Tach jumps.
Battery gives a strong 12.7 volts, checked the alternator the other day at 14 and some volts. I get fuel, but I'm not too sure about the spark. I cleaned the distributor cap again, which worked the other day, but not now. Took out plugs, nice black and smelling of gas. Cleaned and sprayed spark plug wires, including the one from the coil. Cleaned and sprayed every ground point in sight.
Oh yeah, the last time I had the car running -last saturday, drove over 100 kms, just for the heck of it- my radio acted up. Every time I touched it, it went off and came back.
So I can crank for a while (I have a battery charger, I can go on for days), but it would be nice to have it back on line. Then I can drive to the dealer and dump this piece of crap. Just kidding, but this is a big headache. My guess is spark plugs, or somehow weak spark. Otherwise I wouldn't know. It's raining badly again, too. I'll keep searching.
