have you checked the fuel filter just changed mine and all kinds of dirt came out of the old one apparently they are making very bad gas nowdays try running some fuel injector cleaners through it a few times my mechanic showed me how dirty the gas was coming out of the fuel filter

Hey, its doing it again... good for me its doing it in my driveway... it turns over but will not start.. its very hot here, and the overdrive light is staying on during the self test of the gauges.... once i turn on the ignition and the od light goes out it will start.... very frustrating

any new info would be grerat.

Hey all... I figured it out... its true that you cant figure it out until it fails all the way... would not start all day, and it turns out it was the eec power relay under the hood on the drivers side... its right there in your face when you open the hood... I tapped on the relays while the od light was on and it went out and the motor started.. went to the store paid 10 bucks for a replacement relay and all is good....

Thanks for all the input on this topic.

Damn It !!
Every time I suggest those damn relays be checked, I get negative feedback...
So I don't suggest that solution much anymore...

Yet, I carry two spares with me at all times. !!

Good work Kool, and thanks for the posts

Thanks so much for all this information guys. My grandmother's 94 TC has the same exact problem. I plan to return next week and replace the EEC power relay, and also the Fuel pump relay just to make sure.

Thanks again!! Expect it repaired unless otherwise posted.

Checking and having spare relays is always a smart idea.
