Can't get it to fire Replaced valve, thermo time switch and combo relay.
Also cleaned every connection that I know to be associated with this criter.
Would it be the ECU?
Thanks

Is it getting voltage at the valve on startup? If not, it's going to be the ECU.

Nothing there... I am now firing it off the battery through a dash mounted switch. Now I can determine time and temp during which to use it. This will work untill I locate/purchase a known good ECU
Thanks

Are you getting spark? That's a separate system.

Spent a little time this afternoon useing the Bently as a guide. The problem is no path to ground through the temp/time switch. I'm getting approx. 11 volts on both sides of the connector when cranking. Any ideas out there?

Got it...Bad splice. Leads to temp/time switch had been reversed when installing new connecter during previous ownership
