My '93 MTX suddenly died and rolled to a stop last night. Tried to start it back up and it is cranking, but no start whatsoever. Do hear the noise from the fuel pump in the back when I turn the key.
Have not been albe to dig very deep into it yet since it was late and did not have any tools with me.

Did pull the codes on KOEO and found the following:
* 212- Loss of IDM (Ignition Diagnostic Monitor) imput to PCM or Spout circuit grounded.
* 219- Spark timing defaulted to 10 degrees- Spout circuit open.
* 542- Fuel pump secondairy circuit failure.
* 556- Fuel pump Relay primary circuit failure.

I see some codes for the fuel pump- would this point to the relay or the pump itself?
Also what does the 212 mean- anything I should check?
Thanks in advance for any advise.

Fixed ~ loose DIS connector

Well that was an eazy fix. Somehow the left connector on the DIS was loose. Reconnected it and it runs fine again. I have no idea how this happened.
