Tin Soldier Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 So I fixed the exhuast leak and put a 180 tstat in it today and got it inspected. I changed out the dash so the speedo works. I fired it right up and drove out of the parking lot. Grabbed second gear and the engine cut out. Almost like a timing belt. I coast to the side of the road about 100 ft from the garage I was at. Pop the hood and both tbelts are there. I walk up to the garage and they give me a tow back up there. No spark. Replace the distributor still nothing. Then I notice when I turn the key none of the lights flick on like they should (check engine, oil, etc..). I checked all the fuses and fusable links. Nothing. What the heck happened? ANd how can I get it running again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudisFun Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Did the starter rotate while you checked for a spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 that sounds weird, did it make any noises before it quit running? ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 does the rotor spin? It could be the timing belt stripped a few teeth like it did on mine a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubyWidow Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 does the rotor spin? It could be the timing belt stripped a few teeth like it did on mine a while back. On a brand new belt? I will check if the rotor spins, but it wasn't getting spark from the coil and the dash lights weren't coming on. Could it be the ECU? Will one from a turbo car work?

royboy159 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hey Tin---My guess is that an important connector in the dash has worked loose since you found all fusible links and fuses to be O.K.. Also if you post most everything about a particular car in one thread, you'll get more readers and thus more good advice. If your still able to pull the DTCs, that be my 2nd plan.
