 Hey guys. After droping my sister off, I was at a yield sign and was rolling in 4th gear. Well I thought I was losing power because I was at mayb 10 mph and had no power so I dropped down to 3rd gear. Well it just kept losing power and died. At first I thought I ran it out of gas, but no because I had a little over the last line. I was close to a gas station any way. Well went to get gas and gased it up and tried to crank it over and no go. So how long can my car sit before I can change the belt out? O btw today we had a wind chill of -35 degrees.

Well first make sure you put the dizzy cap on correctly or your timing will be way off and you may get a gigantic back fire or worse.
Secondly it sounds like your belt is ok - and you need to move onto other things, like checking for spark. Are you doing this with the battery on a charger? I can't help but think there's problem because of the extreme cold. -------------------- |
