Could be anything from coil to ECM. Seems to be a rash of ECMs going bad lately...

well i went through 2 fuel pumps yesterday so i know how you feel :(  glad to hear you 'solved' the prob. i would say its a pinched wire that is hitting the frame and would be a bit concerned about it breaking, say while your climbing a hill or on an interstate on ramp....

Mine doesn't start too but does this, seems like it's some kind of relay. Only when It's on contact..... What could it be? Ran really well before Just like NY's Brother's.
ps. Seems to come from behind the fuse box?
