UPDATE... In testing and checking in and around the CE panel, I found a corroded pin on the DME plug. Pulled and opened the DME unit and found it has been wet at some point in its life. There is a diagonal "tide line" across the board inside and as you can imagine a fair bit of corrosion on various components. Nothing that screams out to be the problem, but lots of crusty bits. I have sent this and the ignition control unit out for testing as a matter of course, but I have a strong feeling his is going to be what was wrong with it. The DME had paint pen numbers written on it so I suspect it has been replaced once already wit a unit that perhaps sat around the junk yard for a little too long. I doubt it is cost effective to repair it, so I will be hoping we can find a better used one this time around.

watch this space, I'll update once I have more info.
