Problem starting... HELP!
Howdy.
My 88 GXL normally runs like a champ... until this morning... when it wouldn't start. It will crank but won't fire up. I've checked past threads and figured it's either flooded, the spark plugs need to be cleaned/replaced, or I need a new starter. Here's the story...
Last night I parked it in my driveway and flipped the factory security switch (the one that prevents the car from starting), because hoodlums around town have been stealing cars lately and my neighbor informed me of some guys in a honda parked by my car at 3 in the morning. Anyway, when I got in it, i flipped the switch back, and tried to start it... it would crank but the engine would not fire up. After a few cranks it seems to get weaker and weaker...
I'm not too sure what it is, and I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. OH, and, this is a dumb noob question (i'm new to rotaries), but where are the damn spark plugs? I'm dumb and I can't find them.
