I'll spare the semantics here: I have a 93 LX, it has a V8 swap from a 91 Mark VII, etc...

It has been acting promiscuous for some time. It has a CEL always on, it likes to go off when I get above about 2500rpms when it's warming up at WOT, but as soon as you let out, it's back.

It's always been like this, and driving ok, but I went to start it yesterday, and now it won't even start properly. It turns over, sounds like it's missing on a few, but it won't run.

I adjusted the Throttle Position screw to account for a random high idle that had persisted, And I know the sticker says not to, but it helped.

Now, I'm just curious where I should start before I do it the old fashioned way, and individually tear apart the Fuel and Ignition systems to check for a failed component.

Thanks!
