fresh OH, 2.9 1986;
had it running, no more than 50miles on it after the OH.
trouble is with ignition...it has been dieing after its warm...and just cruz'n under 25mph-coasting to the stop sign. once stalled...very difficult to restart. I suspect a broken wire in the OEM wire harness... checked ground's & connection till I'm blue in the face. everything is new coil to plugs (outside the wiring harness and pick up coil under the distrib). I can hear the fuel pump run so I'm pretty sure this is just electrical
is there somewhere the checks wiring harness...remove it let them have at it?? I have a donor truck ~BUT I already found 1 bad connection it ...fear I would be just trading problems.
the donor is a 87' and my "project is 86' is there differences between the 2?
I have new parts for the pick-up coil...IS there enough room to remove the distribor, without taking off the upper intake??
Is ther aftermaket ignition system that would "by-pass" the oem ignition harness??
thanks
