Thanks for the quick reply. I was told that Alamo Rotary did pretty good work. The problem is electrical. The engine is turning over but it won't start. I can smell gas, but I don't think I am getting signal to the coils.

It sounds like your engine is flooded. Look on the web for an easy fix. Go to this site: http://www.teamfc3s.org/ and look for unflooding procedure. If its not your case, sorry for the lecture.

I used to use Donnie myself when he had his own shop off Nacogdoches - he closed down and I've lost track of him. If you find out where he is and if he still does RX work, please post a phone number and address.
How many miles do you have on your car and what year is it? I've got a '87 TII that started having that problem at about 100K. Pull the green fuse (EGI INJ, I think) in the fuse block under the hood near the battery, crank it for about 5 seconds, then replace the fuse and quickly try starting it up again. If that works, and you begin having a continual problem where it won't start warm, welcome to my world! I'm at 137K now, so I've lived with it for a while. Really need to install that under-dash cutoff switch inline with the fuse! Gets to be a real pain to start up after a while! You may be just losing compression or you may have a leaky injector that's causing the problem (assuming it continues to happen). Let me know if you track down Donnie!

I have just heard from many people that he will try and scam you if he can, he tried to sell me an 88 TII 10th ann for 3 grand but it wouldn't start and had no power when you did start it, plus the anti frezze smelled like gas Tito said that was normal!! no sound like the font seal went out on the motor and he wants to get rid of it
