Default My car runs! Very strange.....

As some of you rember, I had a no start problem. I determined I was not getting any spark and went through everything. Battery, spark plugs, then testing of the coils and ignition packs. Everything seemed fine and the car still wouldn't start. Then it snowed and my car got burried until this week.
So, today I was going to actually watch the spark plug fire, so I pulled out a coil and went to pull the fuel pump fuse. At that moment, I noticed another fuse right below it was missing....... Hmmmmmm.
I pulled out the owners manual and a fuse called "engine timing" was definatly missing. I popped that bad boy in and it started right up. I am very happy.
So, now that my car runs, I can start to think about WTF happened to my fuse....

Sounds like a good theft deterrent

Default Not really strange at all...

It would have been strange if it had started without finding any problem.

Regardless, glad you found it:-)

Default *that* would have been very strange. My next suggestion was going to be damaged pins on the ECU plug

that happened to a friend of mine with a 355. His left bank just died one day, took 3 weeks of tracing it down, allllll the way back to a bent pin on the ECU. Luckily he did the work himself, else it would have been $$$$$$$.
