Does the TDC sensor have anything to do with starting? I checked my ECU and 21 finally cleared, but now I have code 8. TDC Sensor (Top Dead Center) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

I haven't been keeping up, but it could be as simple as a fuel relay... sometimes when they start crapping out, they opperate irradically before finally kicking the bucket

The car starts again. I got good fuel psi, 1 month old filter, and 7 month old fuel pump. I'm not sure. I think it's my starter. But im gonna do a whole ignition overhaul i suppose.

you know, in the distributor, the slid on plugs tend to stretch and make poor connections.

as far as a main relay. my experience with them is a no start condition, but i have yet to see the car actually die, either it is in your distributor io the electrical portion of your ignition.

and ask your dealer if there is any TSB's for an ignition problem inside of the dist like a coil or TDC sensor.
