Re: Starting problems 200 1988

Try the standard things. Inspect and clean the 25 amp fuse behind the battery. Then, if it still cranks without starting, whack the fuel pump relay with a rubber screw driver handle to see if that affects things. If it does, the relay is bad.

I was convinced from the first sentence of your description that the AMM was bad, but then you complicated that for me with the bad distributor cap.
