Sounds like an issue with the crank position sensor. I would make sure the wiring is seated properly at both the sensor and the ignition, and free of corrosion. Also check the wiring and shielding for damage. If the wires come untwisted or have damaged insulation the signal could be disrupted and fail to fire the coils properly. -
Right on WrathOfSocrus,
Also check right at the spots where the wires enter the terminals at both ends. Sometimes they look ok but a wire can be broken inside its own shielding right at that point due age/vibration/brittle. It happened to me when I put my 3.4L/4L60E in my Chevette... coincidentally it happened after first start-up while I was working on something else so it took me awhile to find because casual visual observation failed. I actually had to take it apart to discover the hidden damage.sigpic"It's your car. Do with it what you wish, but as you enter this unknown world you will need to invent the wheel all over again.
