Ok I replaced the CKS and no improvement. Intermittent starting followed by bad running and stalling. I do have spark at the plugs and the coil. I poured fuel in the manifold and tries it and it seems the same. I also ran a screwdriver across the large bolts on the starter and the starter turned. I am missing something. This is on a Dix cylinder with auto transmission.
Turned out it was ground wire to fuel pump. It's at the parking brake and I am the idiot who accidentally disconnected it. A number it cost me a dew bucks but the way I look at it, most of the items I replaced would have needed it sooner or later
Same thing happened to me when I replaced my Parking Brake assembly. It took me two weeks of trial and lots of error. I realized it when I slammed the door one night and the engine stalled. Easiest fix I've ever had though. She runs like a top now!
I know this was a hard lesson but I learned a lot about the fuel system. I also figure that fuel pump I replaced was probably original and would have gone sooner or later.
