Ok here's the simple version: so I changed my dizzy with another. Wouldn't start, so put the one on that I took off (was working fine yesterday) still won't start... what the hell how is the possible? Someone please help I need my car to run, and uhm.. its not? someone said turn the part of the dizzy that connect to the cam around 180 degrees, but it won't go on that way so that's no help...

****EDIT 2/22*****

Ok new starter didn't do ****. So we determined I'm getting great spark, and fuel. When you crank it and hold the gas the motor def. breathes and you can her it like very lightly coughing kinda, but no start. Any more ideas?

Sounds like it's your ignitor. . .

But before we jump to that, what are the symptoms? Is your car turning over? Are you getting spark? Is you fuel pump working? Possibly your main relay has gone bad.

 

my car is doing the exact same thing. i replaced my distributor 2 months ago and it just went out(AGAIN). so i pulled it off figured out i couldnt get it tested so i put it back on and it ran perfect. now that its parked in my garage it wont start again? this just a bunch of bad luck?

it like turns over once, then just makes some weird like grinding sound like its trying to start but won't. How do I test for spark? And no main relay is fine I tried my friends. I dunno it doesn't seem like it'd be the dizzy, I have two and neither one will work...

 

the grinding sounds like your starter.

 

Make sure your not 180 off take out your dizzy turn the end of the dizzy and put it in

 

when I try that the dizzy won't go in?

well now its not grinding or making any noise at all.. so I took out the starter and had it tested at autozone.. nothing. A new one gets here on Monday so I hope this fixes it.

 

first of all, did you bother to check your battery?

nothing wrong with it?
or its producing nothing?

 

it's producing nothing.

 

ok, let us know if that solves it.

 

Ok I got a new starter, still nothing. I'm getting spark and getting fuel.. so its the dizzy I guess??? I'm gonna work on taking the guts out of my stock d16y7 dizzy and puttin them in my GSR dizzy.. will that work?

 

bump for update
