Thanks for the responses. I don't have many keys on my ring, just a plastic fob, the gas key and the glove box key. Pull on the steering wheel, not really, but I don't know about the previous owner, they were/are in Belgium. I will bypass the ignition switch or check for power at the coil after a start attempt. It doesn't sound like it's trying to kick over and run while it's cranking and shutting off when off the starter position. The fuel pump sounds fine and when it runs there is no loss of power at high RPMs, load or not. However, right now, it will not run at all! I'll check those items. Any further suggestions before I dig into it are, in advance, appreciated. Kim Springer '89 Tristar 2WD |
