My 93 240 wouldn't start this morning, the strange thing was it seemed to be affecting the starter. At first I thought maybe a bad starter? Then I remembered Art's discovery of a failed CPS firing the plugs before they should and forcing the starter to stop. Not having a scope I was not able to test it like Art. I had not replace the CPS yet on this car in the 11 years I have had it.

There was a small split in the insulation near the connector so I decided to replace it and see if this solved the problem. Well it did and it appears the starter wasn't damaged in the process.
