NEED OUT OF THe BOX THINKERS!

[Chupee]

PISSED OFF!!

So i take all these comments and send the car back to Mccluskey who I believe is one of the best for sure!

He replaces a few things that needed to be done

(1) Coil unit $34.00

(1) MSD billet cd distributor $375.00

Get the car back and drive for 10 minutes ALL IS WELL!

FASt FORWARD to Christmas Day!

I take it out and it is drivin nice and I'm listening to some tunes and I pass the freeway on ramp thinking maybe NOT YET!.. 500 feet later it's dead AGAIN

Look at my watch, it is almost exactly 40 minutes.

sit on the side of the road, but walked and got some water that someone has said that ahd worked prior. NO HELp

I nice guy comes walking down the sidewalk who seems to be a car guy.

I ask him to look in the carb and see if fuel is even going in.....

NOTHING!

No gas, no smell, notning!

Sit for 1.2 hours and nothing, Tow it home and here I ask
......
What THE HELL HAPPENED at 40 min that can STOp gas from flowing?
At home I spray starter fluid into the car 5 times and still nothing....

Thoughts?

Are you certain you were using starter fluid to try to start the car?
Did you check the connections from the coil to the distributor?
Did you check the connections both at the coil, and distributor harnesses?
Did you have spark when you got home and tried to start the car?
Have you checked the compression of all 8 cylinders?

Only take three things for the car to run:
Fuel
Spark
Compression

Time to eliminate each one.

Thx Bill,

I still have to ask the question from a NON-MECHANIC, that's me..

While trying to start the car there is No gas going into the carb bowls. Even with me standing on the gas pedal. What controls that simple action?


appreciated

Check your fuel pump. Sounds like you're not pushing fuel.
