for the sake of the money, is it not worth changing the accumulator anyway. i did with mine but did not cure my problems. at least however i know the job is done and eliminate it from the list. have you checked the dwell (as i am about to do with mine). clean the lead to and from the coil. mine are poor and again a problem here could lead to non/poor starting as the lambda ecu needs a coil pulse input. Also check all of the idle system, motor/diode/ecu and again coil input. Check the plug at right hand side of rear bulkhead in engine bay (creamy colour). SpecialTauto have the resistance values.
