Well i took the engine out around 4-5 months ago to clean it up and fix a couple oil leaks. A couple weeks later i ran out of work and money and had been searching for a job since. I recieved a decent amount of money during Christmas and New Years and used most of it to finish my car. I get it all hooked up and about 95% road worthy and it doesn't start. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The starter spins and the engine gets gas but it doesn't even seem to try to start. I redid almost 100% of the ignition system about a year ago so most of the parts are newish. I checked the coil for a spark and it has one, but when i get to the cap I only get a spark on 1 out of 4 or sometimes no spark at all. So i checked to see if the points were working properly and noticed that the wire that goes from the points to the condenser was fried. I don't know how that happened because i'm 100% sure everything is hooked up right. I quadruple checked to make sure. Any ideas guys?
P.S. I need this car going before Friday so quick help would me much appreciated. Thanks! |
