Re: Sudden Death
No water in distributor .. It has been two weeks since engine wash.. This last problem happened after i solved the missing problem with new plug wires.. Was running perfect.. then just stopped and wouldn't restart.

Re: Sudden Death
I did a spark check (No Fire) I also tested Pressure at fuel filter ( Getting fuel) I will now run to lowes and get a omm tester so i can check the Coil pack as well as the ECM. apparently the new Accel 8MM made the old coil work too hard.. (NKG Plugs) My next Question is would Using a Accel Coil Pack cause more work ? Thanks for all the help..

Re: Sudden Death
Well i went with the OEM at Auto Zone $33.00 , Advance wanted $79.00 .. My Delso runs perfect.. well except for maybe the dash lights and tail lights not working that i discovered last night about 1AM driving home from a gig at the brewery .. Ha.. seems i failed to maybe put all the fuses in the back in the correct order while trouble shooting.. Had problems out of my Mesa boogie too. One of those weekends.. Thanks for all your Help..
