Did you try replacing the main relay? That is what was wrong with mine 2 weeks ago. E-mail me if you have questions. Good luck!!


Thanks to all who responded to my question last week. I did the tests as advised by board and Haynes Manual (BENTLY is on the way). The coil and sensors are within limits specified. Cap and rotor are good. I'm assuming that I need a new ECU unless anyone has another test or two that I can run. Or does anyone know of a REASONABLE place to buy one used, rebuilt, or new? It is the Bosch part # 0 2610200 059. I pulled it out to look for "dry joints" or boken connections but it is way too complicated for this simple mind. I'd probably break it trying to separate the boards. Thanks all..
