AND THERE ARE NO CELS......

 

change your topic title to sumthing specific
any cels?
does it sound like a fuel or ignition problem

 

Some common possible causes -- main relay, coil, igniter unit.

When the engine won't start, listen for whether the fuel pump fails to prime and check whether there is no bright white spark at the plugs.

 

Agreed, I had a similar problem with the main relay: tapped/kicked it to get it started again.

I had a similar problem with the igniter unit: One of the wire leads broke free in the epoxy (so it slid around causing an intermittent problem) This was in a NEW distributor (it wasn't made for colder climates)

 

Check out your ground wires.

 

yea fuel pump primes fine every time....... and it cranks but wont kick over

 

Sounds like igniter

 

Engine/Chassis ground. Try it out. Your igniter sounds very reasonable as well.

 

Check for bright white spark at the plugs.

If you don't have spark, check the igniter unit and coil and whether the timing belt snapped.

If you have spark, check whether the timing belt skipped some teeth.

 

...kicked it to get it started again.QUOTE]

LOL thats great. The perfect fix..

 

My EK had the same problem when I got it.
