Alright, still no start from the Euro S after the LH rebuild. The car is doing the exact same thing it was doing. Still no tick over with starting fluid. The car fires strong on the second rotation, but then it stops and fires again on 5 and 6th. The crank sensor is new, and the tach bounces to signal rotation. I've checked distributor caps, cleaned the contacts, inspected the distributor belt which is there and working, and the rotors point to the correct directions. I'm beginning to think maybe one or both of the ignition modules might be bad? Wouldn't the car tick over with just one ignition module though, and at least run on 4 cylinders? I'm going to test the coils, and try to come up with some ignition modules next. It feels so close. At times with my foot on the gas pedal it almost seems like it's ticking over, but it's not. I'm also going to try to narrow it down which plugs are firing and which ones aren't. It's strange but everything I've seen on this car indicates that it probably had plenty of service in the 80's and 90's, but that something made it go down quickly and stay down. The dizzy caps and rotors look brand new. The timing belt was a replacement at some point as well, and most of the belts looked to have probably been new when the car stopped running. Thinking about it recently, I think I remember seeing this car at a local shop back in the late 1990's.
So I'm still digging, still cleaning, and still trying to figure out what is happening. I have not gone into it to clean the fuel injectors yet mainly because the car won't tick over with starting fluid.
