Paul I can't keep it running long enough or well enough to get readings. What you see is my laptop shot which was the worst it ever read. i don't know what the culprit is that set it off originally.

I'm almost beginning to suspect a cam out of time. When I disconnect the batt. I can get it to start and run and for a few moments I can even get the motor to purr, then the system must be incapable of retarding timing enough to compensate for the cam timing and it starts to wig out and run like crap.

I've read a few posts here that mentioned the chain tensioners being worn too much and the chain jumping teeth due to the extra oil running through the worn oil passages.

Pelican sent me the wrong ignition switch, another to arrive tomorrow so I'll swap that out real quick just for giggles and to see if it takes care of my other interior elect. issues. Failing that, I may send the ECU out for testing, then look at timing if all else fails.

I'm open to opinions and suggestions if you or anyone has any other ideas.........please share. I have no repair manual etc......just depending on info from you all, previous posts etc......been very helpful.
