It's been a good car until the last year or so, but problems are developing. Fuel pump was replaced recently, but now it seems to have an ignition problem that comes and goes.
'95 GL Wagon, 3.8L V6
Ignition coil, distributor cap, rotor & wires have all been replaced.
Rotate key, fuel pump runs, starter cranks normally, but it won't fire up. This might happen once, twice or ten or more times, then suddenly it will fire and run fine. Inductive timing light won't flash while it isn't starting, but flashes normally while it's running of course. Tells me there is no spark for some reason, but I can't figure out why it comes and goes.
Until recently, once it started, all was well. There were no driveability problems. Lately though it has stumbled a few times while driving, downshifting momentarily, then continuing on as normal. Acts as if it's losing power somewhere.
I've checked every related connector I can find and all look good, no corrosion, no frayed wires.
