I have an intermittent "no-start" situation in an '88 n/a. I have the fuel-pump switch, and have removed the fule-pump check-valve and religiously do the "turn before fuel-pump" start sequence, but still get the occasional no-start. If you wait a few seconds/minutes it will often start as if there was no problem, and this is not consistent with flooding. It happened today, at night, so I pulled a lower plug and found no spark for 4 or 5 start attempts, then suddenly there was spark, and she lit off as if nothing were wrong. Anybody have an idea as to the source of an intermittent no-spark condition

 

were you messing around w/ any of the fuses as you were checking for spark?

 

perhaps I wobbled them.... there is no cover on the fuse block...
