Ok, history...new pcm a few months back, drove fine. Sat for a couple months building a bumper and stuff then would run for awhile and just shut off randomly till it finally went hard no start.....replaced the TFI and the distributer ( old one had shaft play ) same result. Started running down ohms and voltage on everything when I got to the point of checking the voltage while cranking with the Spout removed it started! Hmmm...I checked timing as long is it was running and locked down the dist, plugged the Spout in and it died immediately, no start, pulled Spout again and fires up and runs great?? Also with spout in the key on/engine off the tfi will buzz randomly and when it does the coil fires, and the tach jumps around (why I changed the TFI first)
