Hard starting - Update 850 1995


The coil doesn't have arcs that flash like I've seen on ignition wires. It's more like steady white lines along each side. Kind of like light emanating from behind a door that's open a crack. Maybe that's normal, I don't know... The ticking noise does seem a little weird, but maybe that's normal too?

I don't have a gauge to check fuel pressure. Maybe I can borrow one from Autozone or somewhere else. Once she starts she runs great, hot or cold. Always has. Nothing different there.

Just acquired a multimeter. After I read up on how to use it, I'll start using it to diagnose the cam/crank sensors and ignition electronics. I'm somewhat of an electrical moron so this is all new territory for me. Oh well, I'm might as well just jump right in...

Ty MM!
