Hi All,

It's been a few years but this one has me stumped and after hours troubleshooting, reading all the associated advise and swapping parts I stuck at the beginning.

It's a 1989 240, 2.4LH, White label 561 ECU, No ABS, No EGR, working A/C.

I've owned it a year, super clean, rust free Georgia car professionally maintained since new by local Atlanta Doctor.

Before I got it the A/C compressor, starter and coil were replaced.

Every once and a while after a short errand I'd come out to start it and nothing but dash lights. I'd flip the key, run the gear selector through the gears, pray a little and it would fire right up. Be fine for weeks then do it again but never left me stranded.

No it won't start. Cranks strong, main fuel pump buzzs happily, (in-tank pump is dead but will be replaced soon.) The problem is I have no power of any kind DVM or test light at #1 neg or #15 pos sides of the coil.

I have power at AMM, fender 25 amp fuse, battery dist terminal, but nothing at coil with the key on or off.

I read Art's Trouble shooting his daughter's car and replacing the ignition amplifier and I;m still stuck, no power of at Coil.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
