Its an 89 Renix 4.0 w AW4, replaced the dist/CPS last year, worked fine then. Once in a blue moon it has not started due to no sprark but have letit sit 10 to 15 min and started like there was nothing wrong. Until Now!?!? Didnt start foe 3 days, low readings coming from CPS, replaced it under warrenty, still no start. Next day pulled spark plug to check for spark, the dam thing fired right up when i turned it over. But here's the thing, idles fine WOT fine but the first half throottle pops backfires and doe s all kinds of wierd stuff. Started checking wire continuity levels and volts. Showed 0.08 volts to CPS instead of 5v?? Output also low ofcourse. unhooked the plug from Dist/CPS measured harness plug, got 0.08v on BLUE wire & 4.99v on the GREY/Black wire wich is theRETURN signal wire? Same exact readings at the ECM itself. Better yet, Decided to turn motor over with Dist/Cps unhooked to see what it sounded like ( rollover noise sputter anything), AND THE DAM THING STARTED AND RAN JUST LIKE IT WAS PLUGGED IN!! still with backfiring at less than half throttle.
