So after 22 years in my garage, I can finally get around to restarting. At this point, drained the gas, replaced all fuel line hoses and most vacuum lines, plugs look good, spark looks good, fuel is spraying from all injectors. Adjusted lifters. Car won't start. Any suggestions as to trouble shoot? I've ohm'd out coil (it's fine), voltage to coil is 10V (I think it's enough) as it main supply sparks, all cylinders has sparks. Turns over, no firing. Changed points to Petronix II. Still nothing even with staring fluid ( I would think if it was fuel delivery, it would at least fire for a few seconds with starting fluid).
It ran before I garaged it. Any suggestions, check lists to follow?? Do I need to hook up air filter and vacuum lines to get it to even start at a rough idle? |

All this talk about static timing. When would it have changed? The mouse did it.
Please do basic spark and fuel checks first and make sure they are in spec. What color is the spark? Are you using fresh fuel? The old turpentine isn't so good anymore. Timing is the last thing that should be on your mind right now, unless you fuched with it. Please check the spark quality. And tell how you did it. |
