  1. I had the same damn problem with my L28, with all of your symptoms. Even tried the spray too. Here's what fixed mine: check the magnetic pickup inside the distributor. It's the ring-shaped device with little triangular studs around the rim, with the cog-shaped reluctor at its center (attached to the distributor shaft itself.) Mine had cracked and needed to be replaced. Once this was done my car fired right up.
  2. Mitsubishi Pajero on the right by Tamiya. I own the same kit. CC-01 chassis. The real Pajero (as depicted by the model, 2 doors) in fact was sold in the USA for a very very short time in the late '80's early 90's as the Dodge Raider. (Ironically the new "Raider" is a Dodge Dakota rebadged with Mitsubishi logos!) The Pajero and the Montero are technically the same car save for the Montero had an extra row of seats and doors and a longer wheelbase. Same idea as Chevy's K-Series Blazer and Suburban.
  3. My '71 versus my '79, both after having the steering and suspension completely rebuilt, my 79 felt more stable at high speeds whereas the 71 still felt a little "Squirrely". For aero, the 71 only had a front dam and the 79 has nothing a/m.
  4. Your problem as well as the story that follows is the exact same as mine, and as yet to be solved. I noticed the same component in mine (The one circled in red) to be faulty as well. It's called a fusible link, and it looks like a peice of wire with two blade connectors at the end you're gonna need to get what's called "Fusible Link Wire" (Don't, Don't, Don't use regular wire!!) in 14awg as well as two of the crimp on terminals to fix this. Just cut about 2.5 inches of this stuff and attach the two connectors to either end. This however did not help my starting either. In my case, the wire was all frayed and the insulation melted. What I normally do to check for fuel is simple: crank the engine, turn it off unscrew any of the plugs and sniff the end of the plug or the hole. The smell or lack thereof will give you the answer you need. I too had eventually lost spark, and am replacing the pickup coil in the distributor. My plugs, wires, cap, rotor, IC, injectors, pump and coil are all new. Was the shaft for your rotor rusty..?
