Get prepared 200 1990

Look forward to it quitting again, because that's your opportunity to go to battle. Much better than the intervening time wondering when the enemy will strike. Grin confidently.

Make up a tool kit for your glove box.



Check for key-on power at the AMM first. This verifies the worst of the bad connection vulnerabilities in your year 240. The orange wire supplies power derived from the fuel injection relay, and checking this way you are testing it, and the red lead fuse circuit under load.





Assuming that checks, test for spark. Check from the coil lead first. Pull the wire from the distributor and lay it near a stud on the strut tower. Better yet, plug it into that spare plug in your kit.



If you have spark from the coil lead, shoot some starting fluid into the vacuum port for the FPR. Your entire fuel system could be dead and that stuff would still burn for a second or two.
