Hey, thanks for all the input...Interesting also, is when I said
there were "no fault codes", I should have said it only blinked 2111,
which the book says is engine speed sender and is always displayed
when engine not running and can be ignored. Well first on the list
is "foreign material on G28(speed sender)...hmmm like maybe 2 quarts
of oil got on it, as the first "no start" was that same day while I
was in Utah.....Anyway, I suppose I will go out and test the sensors
(which I'm thinking will say OK as I'm positive it will start right
up), then drive it around, and test again and see what they say(when
it won't start). I'm also in luck, as I still haven't replaced the
combination switch(was waiting till I got the headlight relay thing),
so the Motronic unit is looking right at me. The book also says if
the 2 sensor connectors are reversed, could cause no start, but
recall some of you switching them, and it worked. The plugs were
replaced about 7K ago while in ID with bosch plugs from the dealer,
and I remember the discussion about the Autolights, but was going to
have to go to 2 different places to get 8 of them and it was "rush
hour" in Idaho Falls ;-). Wires/caps/rotors/Oxygen?/Fuel filter/Air
filter were done last fall(5K?)....So I'm off to get some plugs
first, then will do the sensor tests, and let you know...Sincerely Tom
