Best. Day. EVER!
My Wife's 94 Astro TBI 4.3 bucked twice so we thought maybe fuel so we topped it up.
Fired right up so taking the girl child to work it just shut off.
Get it home tried starting fluid. Nope! O.K. so it's gotta be ignition right?
Pulled doghouse, Popped the coil wire from the cap, stick a spark plug in it and sparks-ish.
Jumps a 1/4" gap but orange/yellow crappy spark. So I grab the Hynes manual and do the tests.
So according to the crappy manual it runs now. Not so much in the real world.
I'm going on the most usual suspects starting with grounds.
If anyone has any brilliant ideas before I fire off the parts cannon please speak up!
I'm about broke this week (more than usual!) so I really don't want to spring for a module (3 years old) and a coil (original I think).
Thanks in advance,
Frank Enstein
