Angry 93 FD Will not start/turnover.

Hey my 93 fd is having an issue starting right now. The battery is holding a charge fine and when the car is running the alternator is putting out enough power to recharge the battery. The car will not start unless it is boosted... I'm not sure if they're is a problem with a solenoid or just a loose connection. Thoughts?

If your battery is good and the motor is cranking but just not catching, try the following:

1. Remove current spark plugs
2. Remove EGI fuse
3. Crank motor for 10-15 seconds
4. Clean area around spark plug holes
5. Squirt a little ATF in the lower spark plug holes
6. Install new spark plugs
7. Re-install EGI fuse
8. Start the car


Make sure to keep a charger on the battery during the cranking so you don't drain it.
