teg distributor issue
Last night I replaced the cap and rotor on my distributor. It started right up, better than ever. This morning- not so much. Its cranking but not starting. Ive rechecked all of the connectionsand firing order is correct. Im at a loss. Anyone know what else I should check...

Re: teg distributor issue (blkackteg)
Make sure your rotor screw didn't back out.
Does your CEL come on, then go out when you turn the key to start the engine? If it doesn't go back off, then your main fuel relay isn't allowing the pump to pressurize the system, at least that is how it works on my 92 RS. MFR is a common problem with our tegs.
Could also be coil, ignitor problem, and you can have them tested. Pull a plug wire off and stick an old spark plug in the pulled wire boot and have someone crank the engine, in other words, test for spark to see if you have it.
