Troubleshooting Chrysler ignition on an '83 245 200

If Chuck (porkface) is right, and the "chattering" you heard is from the injectors, then the ECU must have got the "Go Ahead" signal from ICU terminal 1 at the Chrysler CU. Bentley doesn't show it, but that wire from ICU 1 splits and goes to Coil 1 (as a pulsing ground) and also to the ECU pin 1 to get the FI system going (by grounding pump relay 85 blue-green wire, for example).

I think Bentley has the B-C jumper test wrong -- that is, the spark and FI action is triggered when the B-C jumper is removed, simulating an Impulse Sender "vane" leaving a "window" (which is when the timing pulse is initiated), rather than when B and C are connected.

So I'd say to try that B-C test again, looking closely for spark at a plug, and listening for the pump to run briefly (which Bentley doesn't mention), or the Pump relay to click ON for a second, when the jumper is removed.

Speaking of the Pump relay, you might try back-probing the Blue-Green wire at terminal 85. With the key ON, that point should be show +12v (reading thru the coil from 86 (IF fuse 13 is good). Then, when the B-C jumper is removed, that 85 relay terminal should go briefly from +12V to 0V (ground) when the ECU reacts to the B-C jumper removal.

I don't usually have much good to say for Haynes vs Bentley — but Haynes pages 4A-27 (fuel) and 5-7 (ignition) might be helpful here, showing how ICU pin 1 relates to the Coil 1 and FI ECU pin 1 for example.
