Well, I was just getting through downtown when it seemed like the electrical system was going completely nuts. The spedo and tach were dancing around all over the place and then the car just stalled.

It won't start now. Turns over easily enough but just won't fire.

I know a lot of people with a V-6 indicate this problem is a bad ignition module. Does this sound like the same problem on my 4-cyl??

Any other Ideas??

Thanks

David

Yeah David......very possibly could be although the 2.5 doesn't seem to give near as much prob as the 2.8.

I went and picked one up...but it wasn't the problem.

Soooooo...the car went to the garage 'cause I didn't know what else to try. They called back and said the starter was drawing somwhere around 400 amps to turn the engine over. Eiither there is a short in the starter or its a seized engine.


That's the third Duke bottom end I will have welded together in a year!!!

gaahhhhhhh......I'm having a bad car day.
