Fellas:
I'm at my wits end... I seriously thinking about taking it to my local mechanic to let him figure it out. Here's the history: '76 2.0 L (stock). Got it in August. Hadn't been started in 4 years. Replaced (new): fuel lines, fuel filter, all 4 injectors, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, coil, resealed the gas tank, changed oil and filter, tranny fluid, battery was new in August, replaced vacuum lines and even put in Pertronix Ignitor (suggested by Brad, did that today). When I tried to start it, it turned over and started and ran very rough only for about 5 seconds and died. I did this about 10 times and then when I tried it, it wouldn't even turn over! I hear the fuel pump buzz when I turn the key, but it's won't turn over at all. Just when I thought I was getting somewhere - dammit!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Do you guys have any ideas why it won't turn over now and also why it was running so rough? I checked the ground strap by the tranny and I cleaned it a few weeks ago. Please guys, I need help on this... I'm really frustrated.

Is there any click from the starter at all? You say the fuel pump runs, do the lights and radio and such work?
I would try to isolate it: Mechanical: (IE: engine is physically locked.) Electrical: (Starting system - No power to starter etc) First, try to figure out if the engine will manually turn, if not you have internal engine problems. If it will turn manually and the starter is not clicking, it is time to dig into the wiring diagram. If the starter is clicking, and the engine is not locked up, I would say starter time. |
