Just replaced OVP and the car started immediately...I have replaced at least 5-6 OVP's on my long time fleet of 124's with 103's all with the usual symptoms, but never with a no start condition alone like this one without the usual warning signs. I guess the 104 is a totally different beast... Hopefully no wiring harness issues down the road...My car was built in 11/95 and sure enough the OVP had a build code of 11/95. Thanks for all the suggestions!

hmm...must be the 104 that fails this way. How corroded were the male connectors on your old ovp?
