	My DL has been intermittantly missing. Some days, no problems, other days engine misses and stalls. Drove to work Sat. with both low and high speed miss and stalled while idling at a stop. It almost seem like it starves for gas also. The car would not start an hour later. There is no spark at the plug or at the distributor. Coil resistance is good. The fuel pump runs (doesn't sound smooth though) when I jump at fuse box. I don't feel its a fuel problem. The relay solder joints look O.K. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

	Check the wiring harness, both to the ECU, and to the second ECU under the hood.

I have had the odd drop out of power that leads me to believe >> I need to shoot the damned guy who replaced my front windshield a few years ago and I>> have had to go back for re-sealing 3 times - water leaks when it pours rain down near fuse wiring.>> If not the issue and it's that engine harness where can I get one, is it easy enough to do myself?

	its to control the ignition. its under the hood and susceptible to environmental factors. plus the wiring harness for the ICM is just as bad as the harness for the ECM, disintegrates into powder after 10 years or so. check for openings on the wires, and cover em up, or replace the harness. lots of guys on the forum know where to get harnesses, i bought mine off of some guy from ebay. t

	Thanks for the advice! What is a good source for an accurate wiring diagram for my specific car. I have a Haynes manual that have multiple diagrams but does not mention my 1985 DL specifically.

	Is it true that "if the cable to the second ECU under the hood, that harness has to be replaced" ?
