ok I kinda feel like a dope! I degreased my engine bay 4 days ago, I thought I covered everything enough but I must have gotten something wet. It started just fine that night when I finished but 4
days later....no go. It cranks real good, but will not fire. I tried the usual stuff, checked the distributor for moisture....nothing, I replaced the ballast resistor, the voltage regulator and the ignition coil because those things are exposed and were most likely to have gotten wet. It still won't fire.
As I was swapping those parts out, I noticed that the gel in the EGR Time Delay Module (pictured) was running down the fire wall. I took it off and, yup, the gel melted out of it. It must hacve got so hot that it melted the gel! My question is, would this part prevent it from starting?
