I have a strange problem that crops up. Once it caused me to have my Digifant 88 Golf towed like 50 miles to start right up after being towed because after coming out from a movie theater the car failed to start though the starter turned the engine.
When this intermittant problem crops up, the engine is free from ANY firing. No sign of life just cranking. Coincidendally, I thought the day before it happened again, "hey this must have been fixed as it did not happen for several months."
Well, it has occurred twice now in two days. Sometimes it seems like if I move the wiring from the computer box it seems after to start BUT this could be coincidental. The last time it did, yesterday, I removed the harness from the ignition module on top of the computer box, replaced it and it started, I thought, "hey that is what it was!!". Well, it was coincidental as it happened again today and this did nothing.
I just wonder if this is my ignition switch that goes off intermittantly and suddenly makes contact again. This is usually after I play around with some wires so one has the false perception that it was the wiring connections.
I am going to work on it tomorrow. Now, in the Digifant Golf I should get voltage on my coil with the ignition on, correct? I wll do some tests tomorrow with a multimeter. The computer box does not allow voltage to be off and on to the coil, does it? Perhaps this could also be the ignition control module BUT, keep in mind when this happens ALL firing is completely dead.
Thanks for any opinions or comments.
