so im driving down the road and car starts to run rough (2mins in to the drive) so i pull into mickey D's
before i can pull into a spot the car shuts off leaving me to puch it into a spot--

pop the hood and woa looky here-- one of theplug wires has come off the distributer.. no prob-- pop it back on--

still no start....
so i open the cap and check the rotor-- i have had the rotor button fly off before at high rpms and get crushed-- several times even with lock tite on the dang screw....

so sure enough the screw is a bit loose-- i tighten it up

still no start.. buy a new rotor button (had to WALK two blocks --lol) new button = no dice

car turns over like it wants to start but nothing happens--
any suggestions?? its late now and i have a test tomorrow so i said forget it.... ill check to see if each wire has spark and this will tell me if the dizzy is bad but any other suggestions??????

 

test to see if you have spark.
if no spark, then check main relay, check to see if you hear the fuel pump prime, if it none of these its most likely the ignitor. the ignitor is behind the rotor, it has 3 wires comming off of it.
search and you will find detailed explanations of all of this.
good luck

 

thanks

im gonna check for spark tonite...
let you know then--
