Thanks in advance to those willing to help ! I would be glad to call if that would speed the help up some, just send me a private email and let me know when to call, etc..
Apparently no spark at all. Replaced the entire distributor (no parts available anywhere for it), replaced the engine computer, swapped the power transistor, coil wire and coil from my 89 Montero, no luck.
One morning it just would not start. Both the original and replacement (used) computer barely make the voltmeter move (it used to move a lot when I did diagnostic tests years ago--yes the voltmeter, analog with a big display, works fine).
Is this a known issue-problem with these vehicles and/or this engine and/or this model year?
