Ok.. I did some diagnostics today. Followed the instructions in my haynes. As I expected the distributor tested to be good. The coil seems to test as good too. I can also signal the coil to fire manually by grounding the black with red stripe wire running to it. So I'm down to the computer. It must be the computer now. Is there any sensor on this engine that, if not hooked up, would not let the coil fire? I did find out about the MAP sensor, and I hooked that up, but it doesn't make any difference. I hooked up a handful of vacuum solenoids that I had removed from the engine. They made no difference either. Maybe the EGR? Wish I just had a spare '87 computer to swap in. I checked the wiring diagrams and it looks like the '85 computer has a whole different wiring pin out.
Any advice or tips are appreciated. This bastard will fire eventually!
