Interesting - the OP refers to the DME (the computer under the drivers' seat with a 35-pin connector). Some respond referring to the DME relay (a small black box the size of a matchbox). The DME...

It's either one of the harness, a poor connection, or the DME itself. Just ohm out from the injector connector to pin 17 of th 55-pin DME connector. There is one 12-pin connection named T31 where the...

An intermittent flywheel sensor is more like an ON/OFF switch. The engine wouldn't even stumble or sputter. The engine in the video runs on a weak spark that's often caused by a compromised DME.

If this is related to the pressure washing water could have gotten into the poor/old insulation of the flywheel sensors. This would short one or both and prevent starting. Cranking won't be affected...

I was assuming a stock 83 - 89 3.2 Carrera setup as shown below since you never mentioned anything about your aftermarket setup:

OK, that is good progress and I agree with your conclusion: The ICV and the driver electronics in the DME for the ICV are fine. So moving on to other areas:

Dwell is not important for the simulator. The 3-pin CDI will release its spark at the exact moment when the points open. The simulator most likely has an IGBT or MOSFET that switches on and off with...

The key for this test is to observe whether the ICV slams all the way open or shut when you reconnect it. If that isn’t the case the signals and the DME are fine.

If the ICV moves properly, isn’t...

Unfortunately that sounds like the DME needs to be repaired. The 964 DME isn’t known to develop cold or cracked solders like the earlier versions. It’s more likely the output stage failed.
