ignition issues....
Hi All,
I thought I'd share with the collective brain trust the issues I'm having with my 82 930. I shipped the car to Germany and when it arrived it would not run. It did run for a few moments, started back firing then died. I have tested the fuel system (I have CIS test gauges), the fuel pumps do run; there is 12 volts to the CD box. There is no spark getting to the plugs. I've tested and bypassed relays, the over boost relay and over boost sensor. I have been doing searches both here and on Pelican since this issue came up.
I have done the following:
New battery
Replaced the coil
Replaced the "green" coax cable (the car did run for about 30 seconds after that; then died never to start again)
Got a used Bosch CD box, (no change)
Replaced the plugs, wires cap and rotor (they all needed replaced)
Replaced the 10 fuse panel, it was cracked and needed replaced anyway
Replaced the fuel pump relays to the correct "red" ones
Had the distributor rebuilt, (was not the problem but needed rebuilt anyway)
So at this point I've decided to get a MSD ignition box. The cost to rebuild the Bosch box is 400 Euro (about $600) the MSD is about half the cost of rebuilding the Bosch.
Is there anything that I could have missed? I've done a lot of testing so I'm sure I have not mentioned every test I have done.
Thanks Frank
