Just inherited this car and have one major problem with it. Two times now it has refused to start after having been run earlier in the day. The engine will turn over and one or two cyls will fire but that's it. Then the ECL will come on. It has refused to start one time after sitting overnight and another after being run about 60 miles then sitting for about 3 hours. Ambient air temp was between 60-80F and dry both times.
I have visually inspected under the hood and all fuses, wires, hoses and connections appear OK. When the engine is running normally it is very quiet and has plenty of power. Idles normally. On a hunch I checked the battery voltage which is 12.7V unloaded and 13.7V when being charged by the alternator.
The first time it happened I reset the ECL manually and it didn't come back on after the 60-mile trip until the next time it refused to start. Now, several hours after the 'problem' it again starts normally and the ECL is off.
I'm really puzzled. Anyone have ideas?
TIA
John

I don't have a reader yet so haven't been able to tell. I'm headed out to get one today and will advise. Thanks for the reply.
