    Thoughts:

    . Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.

    . Check/replace the VSS.

    . Check the distributor.

    . Replace the spark plugs (Champion only) with the same ones that originally came with the vehicle, if they have over 50,000 miles or 3 years on them. Set gap to spec.
