My beloved brownie died on me last September 2016.. It was running fine one day, the next day no start. It sounds like it cranks faster than normal, which led me to believe the timing belt had broke, but it is ok.

Things I have tried so far:

New Dizzy (had one so why not)
Checked fuses, found one 15A burnt out, replaced, still no start
Cracked fuel pressure relief bolt on the fuel filter, pressurized fuel seemed to be present,
Turn key to "on" I think I hear the fuel pump priming the line
no CEL's

Other info

Had the car in the shop in December, mech told me one of the cylinders was pretty much shot (30 psi iirc) the engine (210K) has used alot of oil for awhile now and would be a little hard to start (crank for 10 secs or so) sometimes.
Car was started up in October of 2015 after sitting for over a year, with no fuel treatment. It threw a CEL back then (didnt see what code), ran like crap for awhile on the old gas, then ran fine until September 2016

Next

Gonna try replacing the fuel filter and see what happens, I have no record of the last time it has been replaced. I have one onhand anyways.
Gonna check for spark again when I get another person to help me

Thoughts? This car is an ugly wreck (2 deer strikes so far) but its fun to drive around, when it runs. Any help is appreciated.

Feul Spark Compression
Do a proper check for all 3.
Since it has been sitting a long time and you know compression is likely an issue, try dropping a capful or two of motor oil into each cylinder through the spark plug holes to help seal the rings.

It jumped timing for some reason. Going to have it put back to stock timing and hope for the best
