Another update - FPR apparently not at fault.
After a few attempts to start the car, I removed the FPR and jumpered the two terminals (can't remember the numbers now, is it 30 and 87?) and nothing....So, removed the cap and rotor and believe I have found the problem. The rotor was contacting the cap and had chewed away part of the plastic around the cap terminals. In addition, the end of the rotor that sweeps past the cap terminals (sort of a rounded T-shaped end) had broken away from the metal strip that connects it to the center of the rotor. It was still anchored in place on the plastic of the rotor but it was free to pivot a bit and wasn't making good connection. (Can't post pix just yet - would love to) Odd thing is that when performing the old disconnected plug wire spark test, I had a good strong spark. At any rate, new parts are on the way and we'll go from there. Anyone ever see a rotor and cap hit each other before? The rotor carrier didn't seem to have walked endwise or anything that would cause this but the groove in the cap caused by the rotor was about 3/8'' past where the rotor tip should be running. Thoughts or ideas???
Thanks to all. Will post results later this week.
