My Tristar was running great with a new engine, a strong 2.1 DJ. Recently it would start perfectly in the morning but during the day, sometimes the engine would turn over but not start. A few tries at the key and it would start. Over the last few days it got worse exponentially. Now it will not start at all. I think the spark is OK, though it didn't send me across the parking lot when it got me : ), it sure made me throw the wire. Again the battery and starter are fine, spark seems to be OK. Could this be a fuel pump or regulator? Could it be sensors or switches? Ever had this before?, where do I "start"? (no pun intended). Kim Springer '89 Tristar 2WD |
