no idea whats wrong

Post by Andy2486 »

OK so my problem all happened a month ago but i am finally trying to fix it here is whats wrong so it stopped working on a cold night about a month ago i went outside to get in it to go get some ciggerets well i hoped in and turned the key and it would just crank but not turn completely over... so i bought a new fuel pump thinking that might be it. Well I changed that and still same thing so i got in touch with my uncle who was a mecheniac this time he brought over his little snap on comp plugged it up and it said it was no spark and ignition so got new dist and still not doing anything help me ?

Checked your spark plugs and wires, yeh?

Also check your fuses, especially the engine fuse, in the box by the clutch pedal. It's possible it burned out, and that would result in lack of ignition.

Make sure your battery is fully charged, too.

If it cranks, and you got fuel and spark, it should start, so you're missing something. I'm assuming you have enough compression. Pull plugs out one at a time and see if fuel mist comes out of the plug holes when you crank a few turns, just to be sure your injectors are working. Best to unplug your disty or plug wires, so you don't spark the fuel mist.

If you got fuel in all cylinders, and the plugs make spark, perhaps your plugs are wired wrong, so they're firing at the wrong time.
