Thanks, guys. I don't think a MAP ingitor would work, one plug versus two on the harness, among other differences. Also a 4AGEZ ignitor probably interacts with the knock sensor for the turbo engine, again likely o be different.

The last picture, plain AFM ignitor, matches what I have. Although no one seems to know why there are many different part numbers for the ignitor (see the big "51" on top?) or, again, whether a "wrong" part number will still be "good enough".

Can you tell me the two big numbers on the AFM ignitors you have? There's the "51" and another one on the top label...if both match up with mine, it would be a peculiar universe if I could only find spares half a globe away!

I'm also going to try talking to a local dealer later this week to see if we can make a deal. aybe he'll cut me some slack on diagnostics or labor time, if I lend him the car to show side-by-sdie with the new FT86 when those ship.<G>

I think a little "see the new see the ORIGINAL" could be great marketing that would be worth a lot more to him than throwing in some labor time, no? <G>

The idea came to me in desparation last night, because this problem HAS TO BE SOLVED. Or as they say in the horror movies "DIE VAMPIRE DIE!"

My car is not allowed to have problems like this, we have a long-standing agreement about that.
