Same here. Thanks.

Lucky8 seems to be out, but I appreciate the tip!

AMR5710 for '94 NAS. Long shot, I know. Anyone have one, or even a creative idea to cover the fuses?

I actually think Frobisher called it. I think my first problem was rotor-related and then while troubleshooting that I disrupted the wires enough to cause the second issue. Plugs had to get changed anyway though. Of course, if I get a chance to drive it again soon it could die and I'm back to...

So I replaced the plugs and wires and while I'm not declaring 100% victory just yet, it hasn't died since. I also cleaned the IACV and the flame trap (which was disgusting). Haven't driven all that much which is why I'm not quite convinced yet. I did test a few things (ignition amplifier...

Got it. That's helpful. Will replace the plugs, hook everything back up and see where we stand. Thanks all.

What is issue with Bosch platinum? That's exactly what these were! I have a set of NGK BPR5EY ready to go.

I checked the odd side wires and pulled that side's plugs. The wires all tested between 4.6k and 5.05k ohms/foot with my multimeter, which I think is fine. They looked fine too. That all said, for reference, the new set of Kingsborn wires I plan to install when (if?) this is all resolved are...

That’s very helpful. What lead me to the rotor was the sparking of the coil lead to the rotor arm. But clearly something else is going on here. Plugs and wires haven’t been replaced since I’ve owned it so that’s definitely another avenue for investigation. Thanks again!

New red rotor, same issue. It runs but feels like it’s down on power and almost like it’s misfiring. No check engine light on. I replaced the cap too while I was in there. Will turn my attention to the amplifier but I’m still wondering about potential other causes of the rotor arm grounding out.

Thanks guys. Will order a cap. There’s a test for the amplifier that I think I did right and did not indicate a fault but I don’t really know what I’m doing. Will see what I can learn about the chicklet too.

Interesting and thanks for sharing. Will take a look.

After I changed the rotor arm and was able to drive it, yes. The second time it died it happened very quickly and didn’t even notice the gas smell.

I had a situation the other day in which I lost partial power intermittently and had a strong gas smell in my '94 NAS 90. I did some research which lead me to believe it was ignition related so I started going through the ignition tests in the workshop manual. I ended up seeing a pretty strong...
