About 1990 I had a 1985 Lebaron GTS Turbo. We went for a week holiday to Newfoundland. About a 25 hr drive and then a ferry trip to the island. After 4 days I lost all power from the computer and had no fuel or spark. The only garage in town had dirt floors and a hand tire changer. I was told if I ordered the part it would get there in about 10 days. There was a hardware store. I bought two light switchs and about 15 ft extension cord, some dumdum. I ran the hot wire from the battery throught the switch straight to the fuel pump in the tank.The dumdum was used to secure the wire connections . Then again I ran another hot wire through the other switch straight to the + side of the ignition coil. Both switches were located in the consul.
Proceedure, Ign switch on, Fuel on,( pump buzzing) Spark on. Turn the key and she starts right up. The rest seemed to work just fine. Drove straight home with no issues. The next week I took care of it properly. Changed the modual.
I don,t know what I could have done if it were a smec. But on the 85 it worked.
So, Does that mean that a k car can run without a computer??????????
