July 8, 2007 – Voila! A shot in the dark worked. Bought the SC010 coil from PermaTune to replace the silver Brazilian Bosch coil and I am back in business. There was no doubt, she started right up.
Thanks to everyone for their assistance and keeping me focused on the ignition. I eventually got it solved, but was headed off in other directions.
I feel good about some of the work I did, though, especially pulling the injector and sending them out for a thorough cleaning. The difference in spray pattern is obvious. I think anyone with an older car should consider it. Combustion has to be better, although I can't say I feel more power.
I know a lot of people have different things to say about Permatune, but I found their technical literature helpful in diagnosing my problem. So far the ignition and coil are running fine. Whether I intended to or not, I am now performing a trial of the "new" Permatune box for which I may never have purchased after some of the things I read. Of course, I still have my old box which I think I'll have repaired and put on the shelf.
