So I have a '94 del sol, 162k miles on it, manual trans, with a kill switch. Runs great on a normal basis and I drive it every day. Got in today, kill switch off, key in, foot on the clutch turn the key. Andd.. Nothing. Acc on everything working, except my engine isn't running. Turned the kill switch on and off, finally ended up disconnecting the whole thing and taking it out because of a disconnected wire. Engine still not running. So what's wrong with my car?

 

check youre under hood fuse box for the 50amp i.g. fuse ,also check on youre starter that ther is a 1 wire conected to it does youre dash lights come on is youre battery charged .we need more info to help and you should research more. this typ of problem has been coverd manny times before

 

50 amp fuse was blown, replaced yesterday. Radio comes on, cluster works, headlights on too. Car still doesn't start. Starter is fine, been tested, no other fuses blown, battery is good.

 

Is it cranking and not firing?
Have you checked there's fuel getting to the cylinders and that you have spark at the plugs?

 

it is not cranking, and it blew the 50amp battery fuse under the hood.

 

Turn key off.

Install a new 50A fuse.

1) Turn key to ACC -- does the 50A fuse blow? If not:

2) Turn key to ON(II) -- does the 50A fuse blow? If not:

3) Turn key to ON(III) -- does the 50A fuse blow?

Post the key position that causes the fuse to blow.

 

The fuse is good now, it hasn't blown since I replaced it. Don't know why it blew

 

Do the tests I mentioned, if the fuse blows again.

 

It didn't blow.

 

Does your battery have enough juice in it to crank over ?

Let me know what you find. 94

 

Battery was good. Found the problem. There was a connector off that keeps grounding out and blowing fuses and there was a whole relay missing. Problem has been fixed and starts without a hitch
