Hey guys, I need some trouble shooting tips that can help me head in the right direction.
Just yesterday, My car was perfectly fine. I tried to start it today, and it was a no go. The engine cranks, but the car doesn't start. What are the possible problems that could cause this? Thanks for all the replies in advance!! |

I know a few guys (including myself) on the forum have had a similar problem. Find where your harness meets your ignitor and jiggle it around a little bit while someone tries to start the car. Some times the pins dont make a good contact the power dies at the coil and never makes it to the distributor. If this works all you have to do is unplug the wires, slightly bend down the pins to make a better contact and your good to go.
