Alright, ready for this one?
I've been trying to get the 86GT to stop overheating and cooking TFI modules. Plus it seems to be lacking power. I managed to get the system flushed and refilled with about eleven quarts of coolant. No leaks and on the test drive it ran well within the temp gauge.
Back home I let it cool down but checked timing and adjusted idle speed as it seemed to be idling a little low. I didn't move it far. I did turn the distributor slightly. I then proceeded to check fuel pressure. I moved the ten pin connectors out of the way gently as I have done many times in the past to get to the test port. Once the fuel pressure tester was hooked up, no start. It did tell me I have 39 lbs from the pump before turning over.
I let it cool down but after nearly four hours- nothing. Maybe cooked another TFI. Replaced it with a factory new spare. Nothing. Slight dull thump or click from maybe somewhere on driver's side under the hood, not sure. The starter relay is brand new but upon checking the connections I broke a fusible link clip. (See parts wanted section of board).
What may I have broken? Something with the ten pins? Nothing appears to be broken or altered on the wiring harness in any fashion.
Getting tired of this car. Haven't run it in a year due to oil leaks, wrong parts sent multiple times, etc. Gaskets. Nothing else changed or replaced.
I'm lost now. Ideas most welcome.
Cheers
