Hello all.
I did the unspeakable and allowed my car to run out of gas. After filling it back up and i'm pretty sure i primed the lines by cycling the fuel pump a few times. I even unbolted the output side of the fuel filter to make sure that there was pressure when I activated the fuel pump and sure enough there was a geyser of fuel. Anyways, Now i'm faced with a no spark issue. I'm curious if there's something i'm not familiar with that i'm suppose to do to reset the electrical system? I'm going to conduct some more tests today. But any feedback on this or related stories are welcome. Thanks! --------------------  |

Hah thx for the input guys... but after my inspection today I found out that I actually didn't run out of gas.... I broke a timing belt. LOL
I was inspecting the rotor with the cap off and I used a remote starter to crank the engine. I relized that the accessory pullies were turning just fine, but the rotor on the distributor was not... that was my first hint. Second hint I did a compression test and 2 companion cylinders were 0 psi and the other 2 companion cylinders were around 30 psi. Kinda weird how things coinciently happens. Oh well tried my best to start taking it apart with limited tools. Got a good hour into it and i'm right to the good o'l harmonic balancer bolt.... I'll just save that for the next day... BTW. I have a 95 ST This post has been edited by Celicaguy13: Mar 24, 2007 - 9:45 PM -------------------- |
