mdjdc Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdjdc Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Do you have spark? Is it getting fuel? You may have a bad fuel pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
