Changing ICU & Ignition coil 200

Several months ago I bought a 1988 sedan as a "project" fixer-upper car. As I was driving it home I heard something short out. The car just died. I bought all kinds of replacement parts (distributor (hall sensor), ecu, icu and a few other odds and ends.) The pumps would not run.

After I got all of the parts I started trouble shooting (bad idea). Come to find out there was a screw that fell out where the 25amp fuse is located on that block causing the coil to short out. The Hall sensor, ecu and icu were all unharmed. (Multi Meters work wonders).

Got the coil from Groton. Put a screw in to hold that bar in place. Everthing started right up. I now have a bunch of spare parts in my garage.

Read the FAQ and start with the simple things. Check all connections. Remove the coil and test it. Manually engage the pumps (fuse panel) to make sure they both work.

Good Luck.

Todd :-)
