I have checked the fuel pump, it works. I've also had the dash apart making sure there's not an intermitent short there; everything checks out. I suppose I might mention that I have had problems with the tach reading 0 rpm for an instant while driving, usually when shifting.
I got curious and checked the plug wires- the coil-to-distributor wire reads about 50 ohms, and the cap-to-plug wires read about 40,000 ohms. This last one seems a bit high to me.... I also checked the same (40k ohm) wire while connected to the plug and could get no reading whatsoever. I'm not Nicola Tesla, but this seems like it might be the problem? What kind of resistance should I expect from plug wires and plugs? I wish this car had a neck... These are, by the way, shiny-new AC Delco wires and Bosch Platinum plugs, so I'm hesitant to pronounce them bad.
Hope this narrows things a little.
