Have I inherited LDC's CIS problem?

I tell you Bob, this CIS culprits are contagious!!!

I for one have not had time to follow up on the
sugestions given, and greatly appreciated to listers
here, due to working 6 days per week for the past 2
months.

But I think the problem in my '86 5KTQ is more simple
(or so I think and hope) to resolve than I originally
thought.

John Larson pointed out to someone else with a similar
No start problem about the missing "spare" fuse on the
fuse box. There are two fuses that would appear to be
spare but one of them is actually not a spare but
rather a fuse for the timing, as per the fuse box
label on the lid.

I don't know where I got it that it was a spare for
both and removed them to diagnose codes and did not
replace the timing one.

Hopefully when I replace the fuse it will fire up.

But in the case of your car is probably something
else. Does you car boasts such a fuse as the one on
the 5KTQ? 

If I'm not mistaken, the drive train, CIS, in your car
is the same as the 4KQ no? If so, that CIS appears to
be far less problematic as the older 5KTQ, base on my
experience on both, 5KTQ and 4KQ systems.

-Best Regards and hang in there!!!
