i87 5kt intermittent no start

[LL - NY]

It's not an expensive part, (around $40) but it's a pain to install.

Also, have you visited www.sjmautotechnik.com ?  If you go to the section
"The Secrets of High Boost" and go through all of the checkouts suggested by
Scott Mockry as a pre-boost checkout, you'll find lots of tests and answers
for this. I know it worked for me.
