hey all, was driving down the road today, and my 88 comanche 2wd
2.5L/5sp all of a sudden dies. I have headlights , but nothing inside
the truck gauges,radio,ignition,etc. Went home and looked on google
groups a bit, to find some related info. Got back to the truck and
upon inspection of the coil area i could see a loose wire. Wire went
directly under the man coil wire that goes to the d. cap. Plugged it
in, and sure enough the truck fires right up! Hooray! Drive home and
relize the damn thing wont shut off now! Resorted to pulling the coil
wire off the distributor cap by hand getting shocked multiple times in
the process. Works but less than ideal
Anyone have anything similar happen? Im no mechanic but I cant see
any melted wires or anything out of the ordinary.
