I KNOW YOU ARE FRUSTRATED----ME TOO---I'M NOT GONNA GIVE UP ON YOU!

GIVE ME ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS, AND WE'LL KEEP GOING!

THIS IS REALLY HARD ON MY END TOO----EVEN WITH ONE SITTING IN FRONT OF ME AND BANGING MY HEAD FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES YOU LOOK UP AND SAY, "THERE IT IS!". OVER THE NET, THAT'S HARD TO DO

MAYBE USING NUMBERS YOU CAN INSURE YOU ANSWER ALL OF THEM

1) OK ---VERIFY THAT WHEN IT DIES, 2 TEASPOONS (OR SIMILAR) OF GAS DRIBBLED INTO THE CARB."WILL NOT" MAKE IT WANT TO FIRE BACK UP (OR TRY)

2). JUST "DRY" OVER AND OVERS WITH THE STARTER AFTER IT DIES?

3) DO THESE TESTS OF THE COIL--WANNA MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ONESEE PICS 1 AND 2. YOUR VALUES?

4) TAKE YOUR IGNITION MODULE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE---IN MY PIC, THIS IS THE "MACHINE" THAT TESTS MODULES AT "ADVANCE AUTO PARTS". THE CONNECTORS IN MY PIC (LEFT) IS FOR PRESTOLITE (RIGHT) IS FOR MOTORCRAFT. TEST THIS PUPPY OVER AND OVER 5-8 TIMES, IF IT FAILS ONCE, REPLACE IT. TEST THE NEW ONE THE SAME WAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE. INSIST!
