Fixed!!! It appears to be a Security System problem (weren't really aware there was even a
security system on this old car!) The fix is pretty simple - one of two things worked - try this
first - Try to start as you normally would. When it doesn't start, leave the key in the ON
position. Wait TEN Minutes. (We saw the Security light blinking and then it went solid after
10 min. and then went off.) Turn the key to the OFF position and count 20 seconds.
REPEAT these steps 4 times. (some sites claim 3 times but it took 4 for our system).
If this doesn't work, then a jumper wire was put between the wire on the left (think it was
yellow) to the one in the middle where it enters the back of the cylinder. We found this fix by
searching onlline. We then did the 4 step process above and it runs!!! Now we have a new
fuel pump and filter, too.
My big question is why did this happen to begin with?
