The LAZOR lives!
 So yesterday I finally got back on the red-headed step child of my car ownership career, the Laser. Bought the Hall Effect Coil, a sensor that tells the ECU what cylinder is firing, and put it in. Quick job, 2 screws for the dizzy cap, pull off the rotor, slide off the old pick up coil, and put the new one one. Fire it up... and... It stalls! Crap, try again... stall... So, fire it up for a third time, and it idles. Yes... It's idling at 2500 RPM, but, it's idling... And you know what? We drove it.... And it did... not... stall... SUCCESS! Though the throttle position sensor is bad, and only accelerates hard at below 1/2, and around 3/4 throttle. But, seemingly got it up to 60 mph! It was a slow, but dignified climb to 60.
10 miles of road yesterday. A vacuum leak is probably to blame for the high idle. Going to work on it more tonight... But, lemons is looking plausible... pending build costs.
