..when your CAS checks in at 500 ohms? FSM say 110-210 ohms, so I know it's out of spec, but what happens when it's out by that much? Will it still start and run easily, or will it not work? Trying to figure out if I'm fighting multiple problems on this '86 na.

 

Anyone? It does have spark, but it kinda acts like the timing is off, I can get it to barely catch but it won't start up fully, just kinda chugs out. Will too much resistance in the cas cause the timing to be retarded?

 

try re gapping the cas.

 

I would think that it means its shot...

 

So probably I should go grab the cas out of the car I found in the j-yard?

 

Definitely. Theres nothing you can do about the CAS having high resistance.
