Okay heres the thing. I was driving my car to school the toher day, and out of no where the clutch just stops engaging. So the car stayed running and I can switch in and out of every gear but no clutch is needed. Whats happened with that? What can cause this?

Now wehn I left the car there, it was fine, started up with no problem. then I went to school, came back and now the car will not start. It gets spark and fuel, but it wont fireover and start up. What can be wrong? I know its getting fuel(fuel pressure gauge) and spark we tested. Any help or suggestions.

 

just because it has pressure doesn't mean it is getting fuel, the injectors may not be pulsing

 

make sure your rotor is on, sometimes the screw falls off. Take off the distributor cap and check it out...

 

Well i mean I know its not fuel pump related, can be something about wiring maybe, or something like that. It also back fires out of the intake like maybe the timing is off. But it was fine like the day before and ****, lol.

The rotor thing happened to a freind, I havnt had really much time to look at the car, im just trying to get ideas before I do.

check grounds, ignitor, ignitor module, coil etc

 

ttt

 

it backfires? sounds to me like its misfiring to to a seized dist bearing...

 

grounds would be a good thing to check.
also timming, i mean that happened to me, where my car would not start because the timming was off. maybe check if the belt is really lose, it might hvae skiped a tooth or 2.

 

this is also true, get crank to tdc and check cam timing.
