I have a 94 FD and recently I brought it to my local shop to spray two interior panels while I went on vacation. Well I get back and the car will not start. I checked the voltage and charged the batteries...nothing. The car kinda turned over a little but then droped. Now it just is nothing....just cranking...any ideas?????

 

so it is turning over now? or does it just crank a little and then die? if so, just replace the battery and try.....if not, there are a few things that might be wrong.......

Nope...not turning over...just cranking....I am wondering if the "smart" people at the stereo shop flooded the engine

 

It sounds like its flooded.You should too many problems getting it going

 

Here is a dumb question but where is the EGI fuse?

 

when this happend to me one of the cells in the battery was dead.... so if u checked it with a voltometer it looked good but had NO crankin power.....



If you are gonna pull the plugs, you shouldnt HAVE to pull the fuse (i didnt).... Just pull the plugs and keep the wires outta the way (as they will arc).... Crank it... listen to the cool whooosh whooosh whooosh ..... Then let it sit with the plugs out for another 15 min.... come back, put a little oil or ATF in the plug holes and put the plugs back in (preferrably clean or new ones)....



Should start right back up....

 

Thats tomorrows task! Hopefully it will work.



Why cant you just connect the wires from the coils to prevent the arcing?

 

My car is running thanks to you all!

 

what was the problem? what fixed it?

 

Yeah, had a problem JUST like that.. happened literelly overnight for me..
