Re: Intermitent No start problem 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Dean prodromos on  Mon Dec 4 18:04 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I just had this problem and here is one possibility:

Check the connections at the starter for cleanliness. I had my front undercarriage cover off for a while during other repairs and the rains came early out here in the Sacramento area. The connections at the starter got a little corroded and it would crank but apparently would not provide a consistent voltage to the FI system and the engine would just konk out for no apparent reason. Then I spotted the "white death" powder around the starter terminal. After I cleaned it up the problem did not reoccur.
