361 / 727.
Car was working well a few months ago. Replaced the timing chain and water pump and immediately started having weird electrical issues. Amp gauge would drain with power draw but not increase with RPM. Wipers worked very strangely, when they worked at all. Couldn't hold a charge.
One day, car died in parking lot and wouldn't turn back on. Gave up on it for a little bit. Came back recently. Put in brand new wiring harness, ignition switch, battery, battery cable, starter relay, ballast, and voltage regulator.
Now it won't attempt to fire at all. Just cranks. At least before I replaced anything, the car would hiccup and chug as though it were trying to start, but wouldn't.
At a loss now. Hoping it isn't a broader issue that is out of my expertise or budget. Trying to track down what minor thing could be causing this.
The wiring is poorly organized right now, just leaving it that way for ease of removal in case anything needs to be messed with.
