Complete loss of throttle and random no start

[E30Evan]

Bump,

Still cant seem to get this damn thing apart, i feel like im going to break it... Just order the weatherpack 6 pin connector guess im gonna have to take the dive and cut the bastard.

A friend had recommended a new ignition switch, is it possible that this could cause it to shut off randomly and no starts?

I guess anything is possible, regarding the ignition switch...

My connector was the same way, had to cut it out and pry the two connections apart. So that means the two halves are corroded together. May or may not be the root of your problem but if not you eliminated a known problem area.

Also, trying to separate the connector may have loosened or broken connections, I would replace asap before moving on to more troubleshooting.

Even my idle improved after replacing the connector.
