James, I hate it when that happens!!!!Try to do a little preventive maintenance and everything goes to h3ll in a hand-basket. You need two (main) things to make a motor go; gas and fire . I would, turn on the ignition, pull the center wire out of the distributor (from the coil), lay it on the engine block and turn the engine over by hand. You should get a spark where the wire is touching the block. You should also hear the injector spraying at the same time, twice a revolution. Let me know what you find. Ken |
