Three different shops have struggled with my '95 Montero LS since last December.

In the last 5 months I have only had the vehicle drivable for about 2 weeks total.

They have had the ECU rebuilt (2x), ignition module replaced (2x), coils replaced (2x), new plugs and sparkplug wires installed, and have spent hours checking wires in the engine compartment for a short or other problem.

Typically, the vehicle cranks over hard and fast, but won't start. When it DID start at the shop last week), it got me home and then wouldn't start the next morning. I have checked and reconnected wires to the ignition module, etc., but nothing makes a difference. Cranks but no start.

The mechanics from three shops are all scratching their heads over this. They say the Montero has a "gremlin" and don't know what more to check or do to enable it to start. The best auto-electrical guys in my city are stumped.

I am calling out to the gurus on the Montero Forum for insight and advice. PLEASE help me with information that my mechanics can try to solve this problem. I am desperate!
