Glad you located what seems like most of your problem!
I’m waiting on the distributor cap, rotor, and wires to come in to try on mine. (New plugs in already) While waiting, I’ve been reading through the service manual #24. I discovered that the “alarm” (buzzer, horn, whatever you want to call it) is mounted but both leads are cut. Also learned that despite all my gauges reading normal operating, there are also switches for various items that *might* interrupt normal operations? Although I’ve never seen high temps, low oil levels, or low pressures (aside from the initial low fuel rail)- I’m wondering if maybe I have a bad switch in the system. I have not found a specific readout in the service manual that states “holds engine at XXXX Rpm” it does state it would interfere with normal operation. I would think I’d see a trouble code if a switch was shot but I haven’t seen any. I’m planning to at least check the Transmission temp switch (normally open) for continuity, as it is the only switch on my 350 black scorpion called out in the wiring diagram. I also need to somehow figure out how to wire back in the alarm buzzer- it could tell me something I’ve been missing! Any other thoughts on things to check when I replace the ignition items listed above?
