It cranks, no timing covers so both belts are fine, rotor screw intact, no spark at plugs. I have voltage on the low voltage side of the coil. nothing coming out. Like I said, The led on the computer used to light up and flash the code for "no codes" but now it doesn't come on at all. Also I think the fuel pump wasn't working because I couldn't hear it when I turned on the key but now it works? Could this be a bad computer? Also, i noticed that the clock doesn't work all the time? Thank for the help!

I bought this 91 loyale 4wd Spfi for 300. not running. I tinkered with it and it ran when it wanted to. It would run for 1/4 mi. or so and loose power. the fuel pump quit working, Now it works but now, no L.E.D. on the ECU. Also no spark. Help me guru's! I'm broke and disgusted.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm off to order gaskets.

Ok Guys, Fel Pro or OEM? and Do I need to replace the headbolts? Tanks a million, Bill

Well, I took a gamble and lost. Turns out the green plug was connected. I also found a vacuum line that was kinked. Fixed that and she started right up. Problem is; It started bellowing out white smoke. I let it dissipate for a while and it wasn't smoking too bad so I took it for a ride. About 3 blocks away I romped on it and it coughed and shut off. I disconnected the PCV system from the top of the throttlebody and could see milkshake inside of the tube. I figure water/oil was being coughed down it and causing it to run like ************. Well, I got it fired back up and limped back home. Headgasket time New question.....Can it be done without pulling the motor? Where is the best place to buy a gasket kit? Damnit! Thats what I get for buying a non-running car.

Anyone else? I'm going to look at those connections and will keep you posted but in the meantime, Has anyone else had this problem?

the fuel pump comes on when you turn the key like normal. the solenoids will click for a while and stop. there doesnt seem to be a pattern? If it were in test mode. would it keep the car from running? BTW, I had the car running(just not well) so its not the rotor. Thanks again, Bill

I picked up my non-runnung 91 loyale for 300. It wouldn't run hence the price. I tried it today and when the key is in the "on" position, the solenoids with the black connector and white connector were clicking sparatically along with the cylinder shaped thing under the throttlebody? Would this indicate why it wont run? I discunnected the connectors on all 3 and it would start briefly. Any ideas? Thanks, Bill

While cranking, I sprayed starting fluid down throttle body and nothing. So, I assume no spark. Where do I start? Any common problems? Thanks, Bill

I am about to buy a 91 4x4 wagon with 130k miles for $300. It has a bad oil leak and there is oil on the underside of the hood. Main seal? He replaced the front wheel bearings but said they didn't last at all, (maybe a month) and has a second set ready to go with the car. Installer error? Lastly, he said that it runs good when it wants to, but sometimes it wont start after shutting it off? What could that be? Is 300 a good deal? It's garage kept and rust/dent free. Thanks, Bill
