First post here so thank you for help in advance. So i bought my 85 aw11 early january. It ran rough going from 1st to 2nd gear (hesitating and jerking back and foward) and when it was on idle the rpms would jump. Few days later while it was on park, it turned off. Changed the spark plugs, wires, dissy, coil, ecu and still didnt turn on. Then i changed the igniter and bam it turned on like it was new! droved it for a day, running fine. Then before i parked it for the night I unplugged the wire
