I week or two ago i was driving and my car just shut itself off the rpm gauge went out and the car slowly turn off you could only tell cause you coudl hear the motor keep going. Well i thought the timing might have slipped so i check the ignition timing and the timing belt and its all fine, the car still will crank no weird noises it just wont get to that igniting stage, but after trying to turn it on for a while i noticed i didnt smell any fuel at all none but the car has half a tank of gas, would something going out in the fuel system cause this? if so what? please any help is needed.

 

any Check Engine Lights (CEL)?

 

Yes, but it has been on for a few reasons, so i didnt second guess it should i run a diagnostics?

 

Well of course. At least you have a starting point. Come on man

no fuel = no ignition

maybe your injectors are clogged or something......

Its too vague for anyone to diagnose, might as well take it to someone to have them look at it

 

Well, the fact that the RPM gauge went out it a little weird which leave me to belive it could be electrical.

Could well be not related.

Now have yuo checked for CELs? DO you have more to offer?

yes i check its nto throwing nay cels, and i just checked the plugs they are not getting any spark at all what would cause the distributor plug wires to not get spark but the distributor to turn still?

 

it helps to know what engine/car you're running. The ECU.. with certain one you have to use a jumper to get the ECU to flash CELs if there are any. You said you weren't getting sparks.. check your dizzy rotor/cap.. are your plugs properly gapped? More info would really help.

 

1994 del sol si, running a b16a ecu swap with the usdm wiring harness on it and a custom wire job for the knock sensor. I don't know the ECU but it's not throwign codes because i do have to jumper it to get it to show.
