Ok I've tried everything, I think! I won't turn over for nothing. I check timing, changed it back to original ingnition set up, changed ignitors, changed spark plugs cause they kept fouling on me. I even tried to push start it....it ran for a minute but then as soon as I let of the gas it stalled.....oh yeah new battery! I'm fired, I hope someone can give me some info and what the problem is.

What happened to cause this problem? When did it start doing this?



turbo setup? EFI or carb?



could be a loose or cut wire. check around moving parts i.e. belts and stuff for cut or broken wires.

ahah!



Check to make sure you plugged the spark plug wires in the right order!!



on the top of the cap it will say "T1, T2, L1, L2"



T1 goes to the plug marked with "T" on the FRONT of the engine

T2 goes on the plug marked T on the REAR of the engine

L1 Goes to the front

L2 to the back.



Hopefully thats all it is. Also check to make sure your coils are plugged in right. The front=most coil is the trailing coil. It will go to the plug marked "T" on the distributor cap. The rear most coil is leading marked "L" on the distributor cap.



Did that help at all?
