87 4.0 firing problems again.

[billyboyxoxox]

The old MJ fired right up with the old distributor in it and took me to town and started perfectly all five times I had to stop but it died on the way home and quit firing again! It's in the driveway now and I've checked the CPS voltage which goes from .8 to 1.0. It's not firing consistently from the coil at all. When the ignition switch is on, the ignition terminal on the Starter relay has no power. That wire appears to be black with a white tracer. Does it go straight to the ignition switch? Could that have anything to do with my problem? Fuses are all good with power on both sides.

New problem today. The starter won't crank from the ignition switch at all. It will turn over fine jumping the relay. The ignition switch is only a few years old and the starter relay was replaced two months ago. There appears to be no power to either the ignition or solenoid posts on the starter relay when the key is cranked to start so I'm going to assume the ignition switch has failed. The NAPA store has one for me and I'll try to get a ride tomorrow. I hope I'm back with good news sooner than later! Thank you again Cruiser54!
