i have a 1988 SPG, and it wont start,, but before id died it had some pretty strange symptoms, these syptoms lasted for about 100 miles.before its death/ Symptoms started out as an ocasionall sputter,, but nothing bad, then it grew to the the car not wanting to go over 2500 rpms, (if you tryed to push it over that the tach would bounce very very spuratticly, then it would return to a smooth idol) When it finally died (and would not starnt i was able to twist the dristbuter all the way up, and get it to run again for about anuther 20 miles, then it died again, and hasnt started since.
my first suspect was the distributer,, which has been replaced without any good results, i've checked compression (all cylinders are betwain 150 and 160 psi) fuel has also been checked and is good,
When it started again after its first death, and after i turned the distributer it had spark at the plugs, but i have not checked since,,
so hears a list of my major questoins
-what does the 3 prong plug on the distributer do? where does it lead? how do i test it?
- ive read archive post about the hall sencor, where is it, what does it do , and how do i test it?
thanks everybody
mike
