[critter]

[critter]

[Erin C]

I won't take you off! I have faith in you, you'll get it done...the picture says so...just go into your "office" and think for a while :lol:

[DerbyN8-128]

hmmmm isn't this the same car you are trying to get Erin to drive in the all female race?

I don't think she will be wanting to drive your broken down race car :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


You have a few weeks yet, plenty of time too fix it. :cool:

[LM13]

It's the module [spelling?] in the distributer that want bad. The lube insulation dried up under it and when the car is cool it will start. After it runs and heats up it won't let you restart the car until it cools off again. That's why it starts again in the morning. If you pull the cap and rotor you will see it as two wires plug into each side of it. Two screws and it's out. You can get it at any auto parts store for under 25 bucks. Make sure you put the lube that comes with it on before you replace it. If you have no money you can take it off and just relube it and it might just work also.

[critter]

well i did plugs , wires , checked all wires i could see , im thinkin either what lm told me or voltage regulotor ,or the peice of wirin puzzle that has to with the stater , jeeze my head hurts

[critter]

im wondering if its the lean burn system on the air cleaner ? some kind of computer junk on the side of it , hmmm elec contac cleaner maybe ?

[mcstockcar]

5 gal o gas and a lighter to that lean burn setup! we'll c how lean it really burns. Those things can be headaches. That shouldnt have anything to do if it aint got spark. Distibutor module and or pickup in the distibutor? They are hard to diagnose with out just throwing parts at it.

[critter]

i got spark , im goin to look under the cap to see whats there , then its i guess game i guess , this thing is givin me a headache , much rather pull sheet metal oh wait goot do that too , after the hunk of $$$$ runs

[critter]

i got spark , im goin to look under the cap to see whats there , then its i guess game i guess , this thing is givin me a headache , much rather pull sheet metal oh wait go to do that too , after the hunk of $$$$ runs

[woot lawrence]

hey critter, you say you got spark but it doesnt run? do you have fuel spraying from the jets when it is hot? could be vapor lock if you got no fuel.

[critter]

thx ill check that too , thx all for the help ill be busy tommorow tryin to get this thing runnin

[RICK16RACIN]

check the vent in the fuel tank or the gas cap to see if it venting , it will suck the tank in if it is not venting

[DerbyN8-128]

google your problem

You'd be surprised at what you might find

good luck :wave:

[critter]

google i have done , thats where i learned about the lean burn system , im gettin fuel , i dont think its fuel problem , after it runs and then shuts off its still gettin fuel , fuel cell looks ok in the vent area , after u try to refire its floodin out too , so im thinkin timing ,elec , something ???

[critter]

im headin to the shop in a few , going to get this car figured out hopefully today , thx for all the things to look for im hopin its a easy fix i wanna keep on racin ,plus erin needs my car if the ladies race happens , wish me luck :wave:

[NeetsSpectator]

Flooding out? Maybe a stuck float in the carb?

[critter]

towel in hand , ready to throw it in , car wont chank over now , i walked away from it today , scrap yard is looking better and better everday ill keep u posted :mad:

[spier racing 93]

you quit too easy...

still have 12 volts at the battery? ...just to rule out a parasitic draw...
how about the fuses?

its an 85 or soemthing you said right? you can probably bypass all the wiring $hit, and try and get it to crank over direct off the battery, just make sure its in park or neutral!!!:help:

[DerbyN8-128]

Scrap yard????
If you really give up on the car, might want to ask around here to see if someone wants to buy it...

[BIGDADDY64]
