So. last Froday, 5 days ago, I left SW Florida in my Van, arriving in San Diego last night.
While I had some tailwinds west of San Antonio i was getting excellent Fuel economy, all things considered, even before then.
Today I run out to get some supplies. leaving one store, I started the engine, put it in reverse to back out of my parking spot, got about 3 feet and it stalled.
I could not hear fuel pump, but jumpered the ASD relay and there it was buzzing away.
I pulled the engine cover and confirmed no Spark. I ohmed out the primary and secondary coil and it was within spec.
Pull out FSm and Haynes manual and the Hall effect sensor/ Distributor pick up, well one receptacle on teh connector which should have been within 1 volt of battery voltage, was 3+ volts below that.
I then called AAA. First time in 16 years of membership I used the tow service.
I am assuming the engine computer is not firing the Coil.
I was within 7 miles of home, so the tow on a Flatbed was free and within an hour and a half of calling AAA, my Van was home.
I'll take my time and diagnose that coil circuit, but I am leaning that My ECM has failed. Glad it did not do so on the 2600 mile journey completedf in the 4 prior days.
KogonDodge I'll be sending you a PM, I want that ECM you pulled from the yard, even if it does not match part numbers exactly and we are not sure it is viable.
Edit.... Looking at the 1990 rockauto parts list and pics of the ECM with , there is no 14 Pin connector on a 1990 ECM and thus incompatible with mine which has a 14 pin and a 60 pin connector
I need a 4399987:

Might be ordering some Capacitors and seeing if I can return my original to function.
