Too bad you weren't 2,500 miles closer . I would have been happy to help figure out your no spark problem. The mechanic you used should have been able to find the problem. I have figured out how to easily test the TCI without swapping in a known good one. I had one no spark problem that was just the kill switch being dirty. It would read twelve volts to the coils but as soon as a load was put on it the voltage would drop due to the dirty connection. There are a lot of simple things that can cause the problem.

Thank you so much Jon. Nice to  meet you. Like I said. If you want to go to the bike races. Road America is just a short ride through the kettles from my house. And you have a place to stay.

Jon, the FJ is in a great home with Dan. He will keep it in good nick and in a heated garage. :i_am_so_happy:
