This car is driving me insane !! I started out being able to start it with starting fluid, now I'm not even getting spark. When I took off the ignition mod harness, and put it back on it started and ran. I drove it around and parked it and when I returned to start it it woudent start. After I messed with the harness again and it started , but the next time, nothing not even spark. The noid light will light up once on No. 1, only if I disconnect the battery for a while. This haynes book says if I power the purple/wh(ref ign input hi), the noid light should pulse. it does not.

Sounds to me that you have a loose connection on the plug where it plugs into the spark controller. Check your connections.

I have continuity from the pins on the end of the harness to the wires. is there a way I can bypass something to pin down the problem ??

All of this aggrevation over what ???? One one of the slots where the pin slides into, was open too far. Pinched it closed and the car runds fine. Whoda thunk !!

Thanks everbody for all your help. Now I can get back to my homework.
