'93 Will not start...code 16
Our 93 will not run, will not start. Engine spins over fine. Fuel pressure is 42-43 psi and stays there. Codes show the 16 code...distributor ignition system fault.
What do I do next?
Thanks. Paul.

I've been reading threads on the subject and understand what you're saying. The sensitivity to moisture seems to be an issue. We'll probably have the dealership do it(the car is low-mileage,mint).
On the thermostat--isn't 160 a tad low? What is original...185,215?
Thanks guys, for all the help.

Original is 185 and if everything is stock just leave it that way. Shame to have to use a dealer as they will prrobably be around $1200, not counting a new WP. What area of the country are you in?
