- I've got a strange Ford Van trouble....
-
-
- Two weeks ago my Ford Van died after turing on the heater.
- It was warmed up and running at 35 MPH when it happened.
-
- Diagnostics with a timing light showed no spark was being produced.
-
- I replaced the magnetic pickup on the distributor, with no change.
-
-
- After alot of head scratching and diddling around, I disconnected the
- computer.
-
- When I disconnect the computer, I get a spark....with it connected,
- no spark....
-
-
- 1) Anyone experience this trouble?
- 2) Was the computer really the trouble?
-

-
- Help! I like to program, but I hate computers on cars!!!!!
