You'll love this. I just spent two months rebuilding the head on my '96 turbo. I'm sure you know the work involved in just pulling that thing out! I did my own head work on a working head, cleaned EVERYTHING in my beautiful parts-washer, bought a WHOLE new coolant system, belts, pulleys, all new seals and gaskets and a full tune-up. I boasted I did such a good job! I just got the car put back together after grueling cold nights(they weren't as bad as the cold nights stuck commuting on my motorcycle, mind you) and I know you're laughing at my misfortune, but I missed something somewhere!
The car doesn't throw a spark from anything, starting from the coil. I read that the (exhaust side) cam sensor would cause a problem, and I looked at the connection, fiddled, and even replaced the one that (originally worked perfectly) on my car with another that worked from another 850! I think I just missed some connection somewhere; there are so many stinking wiring connections!
I was reading that someone else said when something that huge goes on in the motor, look long enough and you'll see what you missed...that optimistic approach hasn't worked for me!
Any suggestions will be considered and tried!
Thank you,
Joe
