Of course there is the "Mark Kuzia" splice to check (just upstream from
the underhood fuse box and you will need to peal the tape back to
check it). I would suggest first checking the auto shutdown fuse in
the underhood fuse box. The inside of the lid should show you which
one it is. Mine died once and it would crank but not fire.
