Got it out a few weeks ago and it wont start. It will start when you fog the intake with starting fluid. Im going to start testing fuel pressure. first after the pump, then after the filter, then after the regulator. I don't have a noid light to check the injector signal, but they are grounded.
any ideas?... thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

The car will only produce spark OR fuel. not both at the same time. I removed cleaned and reinstalled the distributer per manual instructions. The fuel pump will run when contact is broken inside the distributor (at the ign points). could the grounds be bad and its all trying to ground through the distributor making it do all these strange things? It has become so erratic and bizzare Im ready to just bring it to a 914 specialist but there arent any in west michigan... HELP!
