After driving my '89 turbo all weekend with no problems, I went to start it yesterday, and after starting it began idling around 2K rpm, which this car does from time to time. After I turned it off, went back to start it an hour later and couldn't get it to crank. I pulled the plugs, running NGK R's for now, (ordered BCP7ES plugs), and noticed the gap was way to wide - about 40-50 thousands. I cleaned and gapped the plugs to about 28 thousands and it fired up, but was missing severely and smoking bad. A day before it was running perfect!
I've done some research on the bulletin board and am thinking it could be connected to a bad ignition lock relay. I noticed that some of the power accessories no longer worked after I was trying to start it, like the power locks and door chime. Could the ignition lock relay be related? Maybe a weak spark? My frustration is that it was running great on Saturday, even passed emissions. Thanks in advance..
