How's the battery? Checked the fuel filter? Is the fuel pump priming? Do you hear the injectors working (ticking)?

nephew had similar problem ... supposedly ran outa fuel. got it home so coil was replaced with a known working unit & so & so. eventually replaced the dizzy with a good unit & still no joy :cry: ... then someone made the comment of fuses . . . . . a little light came on & i checked out the interior lights [door operated] replaced the top fuse on the left as it had blown ...................... car started up 1st pop.


Houston ... we have lift off!! :lol: :lol: :roll:
