So my 93 sol (mini motor) (block is built everything else is stock) Im having trouble starting it. It turns over but doesnt seem to want to fire. I have replaces the spark plugs w/in the past 8 months or so and i replaced the dizzy cap and button along w/ wires. Could it be the dizzy? Maybe timing is off? Or injectors? I replaced the fuel filter roughly a year ago give or take a few months. I need my car for work but I cant rely on it. Can anyone give some advice?

BTW... It always starts...... EVENTUALLY! But its been worse lately

 

Anyone?

 

hook up fuel pressure gauge get the car started, turn it off and see how fast pressure drops

 

If it drops fast, is it the filter

 

Listen for whether the fuel pump primes for 2 seconds when the key is turned to ON(II).

Check for spark at the plugs.

Any CEL codes?

 

I disagree. That means its fpr or check valve. Fuel filter has nothing to do with this except when you go to accel

 

No codes. It does prime. Sparks fine. I dont think its the any valves. Id hear that more than likely. Fpr is something i didnt think about. Before I check that is there anything else it could be?

 

If spark is bright white, then check the mechanical timing. The timing belt may have skipped a tooth or two.

 

It may have possibly skipped a tooth as well. The crank pulley bolt came loose the other day

 

Things are leading towards your timing since you have spark and fuel.

 

Alright. Thanks guys. I will let you know how it goes
