Subject:      86 running problem
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

On Saturday my 86 started an occasional miss.  The tach would drop to zero
and then jump back up.


Last night it started sputtering and after I got it home it would start and
die in less than one second.  After that It would just crank with no
starting.


I pulled the coil wire and there was no spark to the block when cranking.  I
used my spare 53 relay and swapped them all round with no effect.  I then
replaced the coil.  It will start and die and then crank without starting
until after it sits for a while.  I can hear the fuel pump kicking in.


Since it sort of starts, why is there no coil wire spark to the block.  Is
this a fuel problem (filter). I need a hint.


Randy
