1996 850 No/Rough Start
Hey y'all,
I'm working on my brother's 1996 850. It stopped starting a little while ago. It sounds like it wants to start (sometimes it does, but dies shortly afterwards), but doesn't quite "catch":
.
I managed to drive it down from New Hampshire to northeastern Massachusetts with minimal problems (it was tough getting it started at his place, but it eventually started and I could drive it away). What was interesting was that on the highway, at cruising RPM/load it would start misfiring, so I had to keep it in a lower gear to keep it out of that range.
Things I've done so far:

Things I've done so far:
- I verified that there was pressure at the fuel rail, and checked to make sure I was getting a spark:
- I replaced the camshaft sensor, because the wire at the connector was beginning to fray, but that didn't solve it.
- I replaces plugs, cap and rotor. I didn't replace the wires because they all seemed conductive, but I might just go ahead and do it.
- I measured the resistance of the crank sensor, and I got 297 Ohms.
- I tried starting without the MAF plugged in.
