Re: [T3] Won't Start Puzzler


Mark, you found the problem but just didnt realize it!

there is a spring connection inside the cyl head temp sensor... and as these
sensors get older the connection can start to go bad... wiggling the wire
may have affected it, but the warming of the engine and expansion of
everything can and will break a connection if its bad... the when the motor
cools it MAY reconnect for a while.

I used to have a cutting out on the highway... started and a quick
intermittant jerk at speed... the progressed to a complete cut-out at
speed... tach kept going so the ignition was OK but as the motor cooled a
bit coasting down the connection would reconnect and Id be OK for many a
more mile... or not... but when I got it home I changed the sensor and 4
years later Im still OK.

Keith
