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...

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.
