My 1996 will crank when I turn the ignition but won't fire (start). It seems the electrical goes in and out when I tried to start such as the instrument panel comes on and off and the volts go up and down. I tried to jump start. I checked external wiring connections. It has fuel. Never had any problems till this. Any ideas?
May not help, but check the battery posts for a solid connection.
I've seen the dash lights fade away when the cables were not tight.
Thank you for taking the time to reply and help me. It was the OptiSpark. I did have to take it in and get repaired but with the information you provided, I gained some valuable knowledge of the spark/wiring/electrical system which helped me understand the repair and costs.
