Here's the 'skinny': I tried to leave work last night, and in the process I exited the parking lot a little "rambunctiously". By rambunctiously, I mean I exited the lot with zest, which resulted in the transmission banging against the tunnel (need to get new bushings for the transmission mounts), the rear suspension bottoming out as I left the lot, and the prompt application of 3/4 throttle as I turned onto the street. As I accelerated, the car "stalled" before I hit the '1-2' shift and won't restart. Stalled probably isn't the right word for it, as much as 'cut out' is.
Anyways, impromptu trouble shooting ensued as you all can imagine. I'm 90% certain something electrical happened during the various shocks the chassis absorbed during those brief few seconds.
The charge light lights. The starter turns the engine over. The pump is delivering fuel and maintaining pressure. The electrical connections to the starter are all solid. The fuses are good. The connections under the dash seem to be good. I have power to everything in the car, or so it seems. There's power at the coil. (And no Steve_S I did not turn the heater on /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif )
What I have not checked yet is for spark. I have my tools with me today. So, I'll check for that during lunch or something. My car has been converted to a Crane XR700 ignition unit w/ optical pick up some time prior to my obtaining the car.
Does anyone have any tips, hints, or clues on other things I should check? Also, how can I determine if the XR700 needs replacing? I don't expect it to be bad, but it never hurts to know what to look for just in case.
Thanks for any advice you guys can provide!
