I found my next rig since I can’t afford a winged car!
Chris, run a wire from the Batt Plus to the Plus side on the coil. Please......other wise tough to trouble shoot any further.....That will eliminate all the wiring in the car.....It should run till you remove the hot wire.........And make sure to remove the hot wire when you are done trouble shooting it, it will kill the coil and batt if left on, like all night...
If it runs with the key in the start position, it runs. The failure to run in just the on position means it isn’t getting power anymore as his test proved. He doesn’t have it wired right.Coil good? If it is, and dist is good, and you have it hot wired properly, then it is Fuel related......wonder if float got stuck closed?
Well, none of it is correct. IMO he needs to get the engine running any way he can to see if the old *** thing is worth the effort. Hence the hot wire...If it runs with the key in the start position, it runs. The failure to run in just the on position means it isn’t getting power anymore as his test proved.

Fix the wiring and then move on to diagnosing the fast idle condition. It is a compound problem that needs to be fixed one step at a time.
When people always go “Well first I did A, then B and now C is this...”, my first assumption is that A is wrong. No point is discussing further if A isn’t correct.
Yeah, but the difference is that you actually know what you are doing.Well, none of it is correct. IMO he needs to get the engine running any way he can to see if the old *** thing is worth the effort. Hence the hot wire...
That is how I would proceed.....

I was wondering when you would resurface on this. Will do.Roger that Boss man! I have finally dug out from work drama and am ready to revisit on my side hustle art work stuff. Send me a PM tomorrow and we can sort out a time for a call. I still love the Sublime squirrel!
I have been in survival mode and not in creativity mode. I learned a long time ago not try and be creative when ebbs and flows of energy is wonky. Classic entrepreneur 101 lesson. Ask me how I know! Thanks Dd.I was wondering when you would resurface on this. Will do.
I put in an order for some fargo parts,but there is stuff on backorder. The cdn dollar is not great right now,$1.36 buys one usd.Ordered a few parts from Jegs but not sure when I will get to use them. I'm still at work.
