Quite a bit, and this was happening last season, either idle screw or choke problem, both have been problematic.

Out of hibernation! Starts fine, seems to climb up the revs in park (I’m guessing choke issue what do all of you think) the transmission seems rough but probably because fluid hasn’t been flowing (just filled it) and it has no brake pressure (full of fluid they just haven’t been used in months)...

So the ecu is brand new, the starter relay wasn’t cracked it was on a bad part of the firewall so we moved it. As we eliminate problems we are now down to it’s probably just a bad ground, but where is what we don’t know

It’s got aftermarket electronic ignition. See where it’s cracked right by the arm, well we moved that little box to a more grounded place on the engine. We are tackling the problems slowly one day at a time and hope we are getting closer

Pardon my poor terminology, I am still learning after all and I’m learning that this prolly wasn’t the best car to learn how to wrench on atleast not for the electrics

So inside of the distributor was held down with one screw causing it to rattle around, we got 2 more screws to hold it down in place, because we thought that was why it wasn’t drivinf

Yes

Questions. Which is under your distributor cap? If it was points and condensers how would it have driven home from the mechanics shop? Like wouldn’t have it just not started at all? If I’m wrong do tell because I’ll look the second I’m home

Yes, so unless car was redone as electronic, or has magical powers, I have no clue how it drove home

So what I’m referring to is the box on the fender wall usually that has either a 4 or 5 pronged cable going to it

It is points and we are gonna convert it to electronic but why on earth would parts that should be grounded out not grounding even when we grounded them out manually

The car will turn over will not start at all

Yes I was told it’s an ignition box it’s mounted to the firewall grounded to the firewall and the battery

Also somehow it wanted to start when tapping the ignition box with the end of a screwdriver to help ground it out

New spark plugs as well

Parked it and it wouldn’t start after that, checked the wiring with test lights everything seems good. Porcelain parts are working and not cracked. New starter solenoid, new ignition box, fixed the distributor, new starter coil, new battery, more grounds. Now the negative terminal isn’t...

I think I’ll keep it for now, it’s been costly sure but fun to work on no doubt about it. It’s just still not starting

funny

This car wasn’t originally my dream car, I knew my realistic dream car was a boat (I’m originally a Gm full size fan) but when I saw the Chrysler ad posted, I fell in love at first sight it was a remarkable car. I saved for months to buy it, worked 2 jobs for 6 months. I fell in love with it...

And the thing is, is if I get it to be a turn key driver properly, then my mind may change. Just right now it seems to be getting problems left and right you know
