Was Running Fine, Now want Fire up

Hey Guys.

I was out working on my 7, started right up the way it always does. Idled for about ten minutes and then it just up and stopped. It turns over, it just doesn't want to fire up. I pulled the top plug and get the same sound repeated 3 times, so I assuming that the seals are ok.

Any ideas? From you out there. I am going to check the fuel pump to see if that is the problem.

I have never had any problem with this car in the 18 months I have owned it and just getting ready to swap in a LSD that I picked up.

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Cole

Ditto on the gas thing. Happened to my resto-beater twice in the past week. Shoulda learned from the first time.
However, it could be your fuel pump too.

Start w/fuel/fire and go from there.

Jerij,

I see you are in Lexington Tn, You need to shoot down to Memphis the spring and a join use at the autocross. There is usually 6-8 Rex's there.

We have a guy that comes down from Paris in his Ford Ranger Pick-up to autocross.

See ya.
