The other thread linked here got me over the hump. I was finally able to adjust the glass within the glass channel filler. By all accounts, that likely means it needs replaced.

Which dealer? Mine doesn’t have anything in that diagram available. (Not considered a reliable source anyway.) Follow up - reading elsewhere it seems item 10 (glass channel in FSM) actually needs replaced along with it which is the discontinued part I definitely can’t find. Just item 9 (glass...

Just to tie this up n case it helps anyone searching later. None of this was making sense. I started getting readings that showed good spark. So I read more, and looked for trends. Jonheld mentions “air” maybe more than anything…so I started over. It was air. Nothing appeared disconnected...

Not available from partsouq. Anyone found any? (Also, any more info besides "this?") I've disassembled everything and see that the track looks more out of adjustment as anything, this part visually appears fine?

Had to skip town for an overseas trip, picking back up here. I have no idea what this is or where to find it.

No dice. Well, with caveats. I double checked spark just to make sure I didn’t start down a rabbit hole with no rabbits. No spark. Primary coil resistance good, middle of the band. Secondary coil resistance good, middle of band. No visually apparent issues with ground, mounted fine...

Has to, to some degree. I already see some good nuggets that offer more clarity than the FSM. Got a meter today, I’ll start back over tomorrow. The whole distributor, wires and plugs are new (150 miles or so) so I’m assuming they’re good but I’m going to check everything.

yeah I suppose I should. That’ll give me something to do tomorrow. 👍🏻

Yep, that was the attempt. No spark. Well, couldn’t reach the lift hook with the 2 wire so I went with the ac compressor

@BILT4ME no worries! So, I have one of two problems. No spark. Or, my testing method is flawed and the plug doesn’t have sufficient ground when I test and I’m going down the wrong path.

Rebuild?

Yeah searching is a definite benefit. I’m normally still a paper book guy but your point about clean is a major factor. Not sure my section on front end work will survive another go at it haha. So I run out of test equipment and tools around step 3. No way to check for Vacuum leaks or spark...

Huge thanks for the effort. I’ll start poring over everything, and definitely put off the fuel filter until needed. That seems less than enjoyable, although if it were the single fault certainly an easy fix. (As far as complexity.) I have a hard copy of the FSM, but thanks for the point...

I haven’t. Well, other than new distributor, wires, and plugs (all before the problem started.) I’ll probably put the new fuel filter in it since I already have it in my box of OEM parts and I can’t verify how old the current one is. After that, it’ll have to go to a mech unless I find a...

That said, I’m lost on the no start. From what I can tell from reading, with these symptoms it’s *not* the EFI relay but I swapped it anyway. No difference.
