@justbecause i sold that guy the hot dog dent 80. He did a bunch of mods and then sold it for less than he bought it for. Haven’t heard from him or about that 80 since then.

@Clutchee do you still have the same number by chance? You’re still in my phone. Hope all is well with you.

the causes of your problem have been listed so I’m gonna address something else. Which aaa membership do you have. Mine was towed twice this weekend. One tow was 11 miles or so and the next was 125. All “free”.

What really happened is I washed the damn thing and cleaned the interior. Things went south after that.

very true. Sometimes I overthink stuff.

The spark was by the egr best I could tell. My egr was deleted 5+ years ago. So the tube is effectively gone.

Been thinking more about this. I clearly saw a spark when I was pulling on the wires around the harness. A big one. All wires are completely wrapped in the factory harness materials. No visible wires. So how in the hell did I see a spark? I can’t imagine the injectors pulling enough...

Didn’t know that new connectors were an option. Thanks for the info

Well. We are home. Still don’t know if it’s fixed but it ran great the whole 4.5hr trip.

Just a thought, but would the injector plug coming off cause a spark? It was a big spark. I’m kinda torn that I did and possibly didn’t find the actual problem. I’m gonna hit the road in about 2 hours. I just hope it makes it thru Nashville traffic ok.

I let the rtv set and yanked And prodded and pulled and didn’t see a spark. I guess I’m gonna load up and head home in the am. Keep your fingers crossed. feel free to post more info. I’m gonna be up all night screwing with it.

Got the plug “fixed” with some black rtv. Yanked on the wires again and no spark. Gonna let the rtv set and then run it and yank on them again.

Put it all back together. It ran great. Started shaking wires. Saw a spark at the egr valves not the tube. Everything is wrapped tight so it cant be sparking to that. Then it started running rough. A dead miss. Then I noticed that the number six injector plug had fallen off again. I’m...

Checked all 6 plugs. One reads to ground and one does not. I did learn that the #6 injector retaining clip is broken. Maybe it wiggled and caused a resistance issue I’ve the past few years and it finally popped the fuse link?

Ok. So I checked the low beam headlight bulbs with a meter. They are bad. I blew a fuse link and killed the headlights. I wonder if a body ground coulda gone away intermittently and come back and spike something?
