Renegade,

Thanks for the response, very good info. Where do I hook up my O scope or Analog volt meter to check for these codes?


You'll find the diagnostic connector behind the glovebox in a Gen1 (the white connector in the picture below)

You can find all the information regarding which pins to connect your analog voltmeter to, as well as the diagnostic codes and a lot of troubleshooting information, on page 14-76 and following of the FSM. If you need the FSM, you can download it from

I'll agree that your problem sounds fuel-related -- I had similar symptoms with a failing fuel pump (although from your sig it looks like the pump was replaced relatively recently). Maybe you could try having someone spray some starter fluid into the throttle body while you crank the engine. If it fires on the starter fluid then it's definitely a fuel delivery problem, most likely the pump since when your problem occurs you can crank and crank without any attempt to light off.

Good luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
