I know you said you had spark, but without a scope, you do not know how much. Is the spark a real bright blue, or a yellowish-orange? If it is not a bright blue, replace the module. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 25, 2006, 6:55 PM Post #3 of 3 (1971 views) Re: 86-merc cougar WONT START Sign In Just to add, that stupid module does require a special socket to replace and they are a problem as way2old indicated.
