Frusterated

the other day i got my stealth running and i took it for a 2 mile drive parked it out front of my house and shut it down got up next morning to head into work and the damn thing didnt start so i hot wired the fuel pump ran all day than i shut it off that night again parked in front of my house and this morning it didnt start it gots plenty of fuel pressure but its too windy today to sit outside and check for spark so ima wait till tomorrow to check the spark any other ideas why it wouldnt start and go out just like that over night? 93 dohc

fuked up ecu?

ECU could very well be a culprit.

where is the ecu located?

the ECU is behind the radio. jus pop of the carpet on both sides of the console, and there are 4 screws that hold it in i believe. 2 on each side. jus undo the screws and unplug the wire harness and it should slide right off. once you get it off take out the 4 screws that hold the top on, and remove the top. then check the capacitors for leakage

check them for leakage with like a tester or just broken wires? how would i know if they are leaking?

you can actually see crap coming out of the caps

there is no crap comin out of the caps

Check carefully, there could only be a little bit leaking, it looks like brown slime really, do a search on www.stealth316.com and they have some pictures of leaking capacitors on our ecu. very common problem. otherwise you could check your MFI relay but those dont go out as often as the ecu's

ty i found the brown goo is it cheaper to buy one on ebay or bring it in to be fixed?

does it matter which md# it is or should i look for one with the same number? md188204
e2t35681
3224 t1
and on the side it says 8204

all that matters is that its from a 91-93 DOHC NA
