ok i got a 88 DL SPFI it had a broken timing belt, know big deal. put the timing belt on got it running. i put about 400 miles on it.

 

i was in the drive way and it just died like you turned off the key, and now it wont start, but dose crank. all the fuses are good fusible links good the fuel pump is not pumping, i have know spark at the coil, i do have power at the coil. im shur im just over looking somthing just dont know what. any input would help

thanks

Pull the cap and make sure the rotor set screw hasn't backed out. I've had that happen and the car acts the way you describe. Also check to see if the rotor is turning. If not, you have a belt problem.

i have done both of those im thanken a relay or something long those lines

i work on cars all the time but some times you get that one problem that stumps you

Do you have spark? Is it getting fuel? You may have a bad fuel pump.

Hey man.....How's it going?

 

When you gonna bring that chopped out 3-door down for some wheelin?

 

Yeah, anyhow, it sounds to me liek the disty took a crap. If it doesn't send a pulse, the Ignition won't fire and the fuel pump won't run.

 

Hook a test light to the neg side of the coil and watch for pulsing when you crank it. If you don't have a pulse, you're dead.....lol.....I mean you're disty is dead.

 

I've got a few spares down here in Corvallis if you need to swap one to troubleshoot.

 

 

Anyhow

ill try that i didnt thank about testing that aspect of it find out soon

 

you going to be in your shop ill give you a call

in a bit

also, pull the outer covers and make sure the new belts havnt jumped or broken. Its a free thing to check and doesnt take long.

did you check the injector ground at one of the 6 12mm bolts on the intake manifold

disty took a crap put new one in and now its running

thanks for all the input
