She Just Wont Start...
OK, so here is the break down. Its an 88 base model.
I was out for a lovely drive on sunday, everything was spectacular. Came home, shut her down and went to bed. Monday, i get up for work at 6:00 and go to start her up, and she just wont light. I figured, great.... its cold and the beast is gonna take a couple of turnovers to light up. (the car floods quite a bit so i have a fuel pump shut off switch inside the car). I made sure that the switch was on and let her rip again. NOTHING! Turns over great, smells like fuel..... not even an attempt to light. I figured blown coil. So i pulled all the plugs and tested the coils. Every plug sparked across the gap when it was out of the engine. I am out of ideas. HELP |
Are your plugs dripping gas when you pull them... If you are fuel fowling the plugs, you probably have a blown engine or very little compression... I hope this is not the case...

Did you unflood it?

The same thing is happening to my car. It wont start at all. It is truning over and over but not igniting. I check the fuses for fuel pump-good. I check the resister-good. I checked the fule pump to see if I could hear it whirling. I think its good. I took the plugs out to see if they were wet and they were really saturated with fuel. I dont know why the engine could be blown. I just drove it the day before and it was fine. It doesnt smoke or anything. I am out of ideas... maybe you can help me as well since me and this guy are in the same boat.
