thanks DoMo, DW1 and rick-l,
I looked at the previous pet files 84-86 and couldn't find the .14 so I don't know what my DME is from.
Steve,
I replaced the DME last year with a refurbished DME because of an intermittent no-start condition at a shop in CA. (I suspect now that it had cracked solder joints.) This replacement/refurbished DME just failed with cracked solder joints, which I identified from info found here and PP and repaired myself Thursday. I wish I had taken the time last year to research the issue, (there was no time for DIY though)
I spent $3k at the shop who threw parts at it until it seemed to work, and now I had to fix the 'refurbished' DME myself.
So to answer your question, it seems that having a back up in the trunk might be the right move at this point. Or is this cracked solder joint/DME issue rare?
