[I have an 87 5000cstq that has a randomly selective non-starting
problem...Joe]
Almost sounds like the ignition switch problem that I just resolved.
Switch was cranking the engine but sometimes not providing + to track
15(IGN etc.). The problem was intermittant, mostly happening after the car
was warm - guess the switch heated up, but I thought it was a fuel pressure
problem. I had been looking for problems everywhere else.
I bypassed the switch Saturday, until I was able to source and replace the
switch yesterday. I have not had any problem since, despite my attempts to
recreate it. (knocking on wood)
