hey everybody. i'm in a bit of a hurt and i hope somebody can give me some insight.
my 5sfe didn't start today. i've NEVER had a problem with it before. the starter runs but the engine won't turn over. it's damp and rainy today, for what it's worth. it has a full tank of 91 octane, the battery connections are tight, and all the plug wires are connected properly. with the gracious help of my neighbors, we tried push-starting it several times, but as soon as the clutch pops, the engine makes a horrible diesel-decompression sound and the tires just skid (maybe because of the wet ground) i'd like to replace the plugs, wires, coil, dizzy, etc. but i'm hoping someone can help narrow it down. i will do my best to provide any additional info if needed. thanks. --------------------  do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

actually, i just realized i don't know how to get those irritating plastic plug retainer clips off.
does anyone know how i can check the functionality of the coil and ignitor? edit : is the coil integrated with the distributor, or is it a standalone? This post has been edited by uberschall: Oct 12, 2007 - 8:02 AM -------------------- do you know who i am, mr. worley? |
