anyone have a how to to doing this? i need to take the top of the carb apart to check the seats and all i think something in there is stuck because im getting fuel to the carb but thats it it wont crank.

 

pull them plugs out. I bet its flooded; common issues with weak battery.

 

nah, not flooded.. can get it to try to crank and just put the plugs back in from the fix u just stated..

 

You don't need to take the carb apart. Have you verified that you have spark to the plugs, both leading and trailing?

Did you pull a plug and verify that it is not wet with fuel?

 

pulled t1 and t2.. top and bottom.. cleaned plugs.. ran with plugs out to empty out in case of flooding.. saw white smoke exit.. replaced plugs.. still sill try to crank but thats it.. no success.

 

You still have not answered the questions. No one is going to be able to help you unless you can give good information back and answer direct questions.

Like I stated before. Have you verified that you have spark to both the leading and trailing plugs?

ok i just read a thread where someone said that if your trailing ignitor isnt working that your fuel pump wont work also.. my fuel pump isnt working, so i jumped a wire from the battery to the pump to test and it came on.. so.. i can make the fuel pump come on but still doesnt want to crank up just spurts of trying so what do i need to do to fix? i think maybe my trailing ignitor might not be working but car has been sitting for prob. 8 years .. any help would be appreciated!

 

oh also my car is an 84 model

 

replace the trailing igniter. I had the same problem with my '85 GSL.

It is in the archive section and that is where alot of the more common things are kept as well as the other link I gave you which is in the FAQ section.

 

Here is another one that may be of interest.

what exactly does the trailing ignitor have to do with the fuel pump working or not?

 

Did you read the link that I provided?

 

which ignotor is the leading and which is the trailing?

 

when i try to start it the tach moves does that mean the trailing ignitor is good?

 

those things are $130 bucks????!?!?!

 

Yes that means the trailing ignitor is working.

The trailing ignitor is the one closest to the alternator.

 

i guess im going to have to tow it to a stealer to have it looked at..

 

You can either do that or buy some basic tools, read related threads about no start problems then perform the tests that are listed in the threads. Or you can pay someone $70 or hour to diagnose. :-)

 

Sounds like an ignitor is shot. Don't pay $130 for an ignitor, go to your local Pick n Pull or else post a WTB here: plenty guys have extras.

 

VERIFY THE DAMN SPARK ALREADY!!!

For God's sake man, why sit around wondering if you have a bad ignitor when it could be confirmed or eliminated as a suspect so easily? Find out if they're sparking on both the leading and trailing.

 

My heartfelt suggestion is if you want any continuing help, take the advice that has been given and follow through with it. If you can't manage to read the listed threads and perform the diagnostics needed, you will either end spend a good deal of money paying for someone else to repair your car, or selling it out of frustration, hopefully to someone who will take the time to care for it properly.
