They are super clean, the whole car is clean never abused, it now has 37K on it.
This has been a nightmare problem for me, it all started when I replaced distributor caps 7 months ago, don't understand how that could make car just die and complete loss of voltage.
I installed Beru caps, returned them and got Bosch, also updated rotor bracket, still had problem.
Put my originals back in, still had issue.
Issue was so intermittent, could drive the car for weeks without it stalling, well now whatever it is, its doing it in my garage so it should be easier to find! but need a power flow schematic ,which I cannot find!
EZL's don't go out very often so not a lot of info out there! plus their super expensive!
Not sure if this could have caused issue, but the car needed a new Alternator and voltage regulator, running volts would go below 12VDC with any accessories on, mostly at idle.
This low voltage would stall the car because all the modules can not run without proper voltage!
I've heard of over voltage killing modules but thats what the OVP is for. installed a new one just in case.
I have issue narrowed down between EZL inputs and ignition switch, I have read a few posts that the electrical connector at ignition switch can get loose sockets causing issue, so going to check that out next.
How would I know this? on EZL #B 8 pin connector I get 12Volts on three sockets with normal start condition.
when its in the no start condition, no dash lights, cranks will not start, I get 12 volts only on one of those same sockets, so has to be ignition switch or something in between.
I've tried to trace #B 8 pin connector wires, but they go under fuse box and disappear, they may be going to a relay there? way in the back of fuse box there's a bunch of plug in relays, I need to find out what their for?
sorry for long post, this may be a simple issue, hope it is! for those with same issue and see this post I have a running post on Benzworld here.
