MR2 Update: Liberate Tuteme

So I got the new ignitor yesterday and while installing it discovered why the old one was failing.



I'm stunned it ran at all actually.

Nonetheless, the car still doesn't start. I'm regressing on the project, and that my friends is incredibly aggravating. It fires, every now and then, once or twice but otherwise pretty consistently gives no spark.

Part of this I realized, is that the sender cable for the distributor is completely screwed. I had to repair it previously. I had to do it again tonight. Now with the engine buttoned up, there are 4-5 parts that have to be removed every time during the repair so I don't go all 'Event Horizon' on the car and my little dog eared companion Chip.



After firing buttoning it up again, guess what still didn't work? I was moments from speaking Latin and letting the car decide where we are going.
My assumption and gut instinct is that the distributor sender is still hosed. One of the wires, having severed right on the connector, is tenuously held at best.

I suppose its a bad sign that I'm using 'Event Horizon' quotes to reference my car. But really, I just like that movie.
