dead 5K

Pull the ECU fault codes. Might as well let the car try and tell you what's
wrong with it first...

See my quick write-up I just put in the FAQ at:
http://www.newtsplace.com/90tq/faq.php#25

I have fixed several 5ktq/200q's that had bad Ign. reference sensors, that
exibited similar problems to yours, and correctly reported the fault telling
me what to fix :).

Later!
