Yeah, I dont see how it could be anything else other than a short somewhere in its circuit.Yeah, I'm grasping... but d@mn, when you move that coil around the problem is so evident.

I did this test yesterday and the voltage did drop. But then I did it again and it didn’t. So I can’t tell if it’s losing power or if I just slipped the prongs on the multimeter.If you're losing voltage to the coil when moving that wire then it's the wire coming from the ignition switch. Disconnect that wire from the coil and put your voltmeter on it. Turn on the switch then go along that wire and bend and wiggle it while watching the voltmeter. if the voltage drops you will have found the bad spot.
Hint, this is a job for a analog voltmeter. Twitches in the needle will be easier to see than the on and off of a digital meter.
You hope!Do you guys think this will be an issue the shop can find fairly quickly?
You hope!
Yeah,and they're going to whine and milk it because he's changed the tranny and tried to fix this issue himself. Everytime I go for a front end alignment they spend most of their time poking around trying to find something they can milk me for. I got pissed at one place and told them to just take it off the rack so I can take it somewhere else.What are shop rates these days for labor, >$120/hr?
To be fair I don’t think this shop is one of those, the guy is extremely nice and I see him weekly because I deliver parts through NAPA to him. He’s also a Chevy guy and owns a GMT400 himself.Yeah,and they're going to whine and milk it because he's changed the tranny and tried to fix this issue himself.
