benzmac,

I have a similiar symtom to my car 82 380 SEL. I was driving homr from work suddenly the car just went dead. Tried to start it but its just crank and the engine wont catch.
Before this happend I was playing with the idle / air mixture (to lower the idle) Seems like when I was driving the idle was to low then the car died and wont start again.

No spark from the coil, and smell fuel from the intake area. Check the coil and saw a green lead/cable from the coil to inside of the fuse box somewhere but could not tell what it is.

What is the problem ???? what is the green lead/wire does....please help........

Thank you,
andy
