Spark after electrical reset...then won't spark.
Hi,
My 1987 Camry 4cyl has a new distributor, wires, plugs, and starter. It starts on a dime about every 20 starts, but then will just fail to spark. After I disconnect/reconnect the battery, the car will spark again then continue to spark for many starts. Then fail again.
The car runs great at 55K original miles. Could this be the ignition coil? ECM?
UPDATE: I was told the battery looks new, but the sticker, after checking, says "12/06". The battery really needs replacing. I'll post updates after I get a new one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom
