Left town two weeks ago...car ran fine.

Came back wouldnt start. Checked for spark, didnt find any, bought new dizzy. Sparked, but still didnt start.

Plugs smell like fuel, and I have spark. The car turns over and kind of chugs from time to time, but doesnt really seem like it wants to go.

Charging my battery now cause its dead from 2 days of turning. The garage was super damp when I got back. ECU is throwing NO codes.

Any ideas?

Main relay? Like heat, moisture will get to them as well.

 

Check your timing, and make sure you didn't install your Distributor in backwards.

 

Main Relay, dizzy in backwads, plus youre prolly flooded in there cranking it so long without it firing.

 

it could be ur distributer, my friend had a teggi and had the same problem, fixed his distributer, and the car started, try that

Uhh, he just bought a dizzy. He smells gas, so it probably is not main relay. Do you hear the fuel pump prime?

 

ok...So a while later, still with the new dizzy, new battery, and a new stinger ground block (3 grounds off the - battery) and Its still going crazy when I turn on the blinkers. But only under load, like when I have the lights on, and am traveling at speed. The fuel gauge is always pegged beyond full...then drops to half, and then is spurratic on the way to E. When I turn on the blinkers under load, the opposite blinker blinks dimly, the tach bounces w/ the blink, and the temp needle rises.

Its obviously electrical...all my grounds are good (battery, valve, harness). Any other ideas?

r u getting a code 20 ?

 

no codes. Driving last night the lights would blink off, and the tach would drop for the briefest moment, and then be cool.

I have a feeling I'm going to have to search my entire wire harness.

check all grounds, sounds like a ground tapping

i dont think its the main relay because the main relay doesnt control turn signals and power to gauge cluster
