I've got gas and spark.

I've got 12v at the injectors

where is the ECU?

what else. Benn running fine the last year and just decided not to start for wife. Which is not good

 

How do you know you have spark? What color is it? If it's not blue, your coil is probably on its way out. Are you sure your timing belt didn't snap?

 

Does your interior lights come on...hear any click coming from your starter? Any kind of noise come on when you try to start???

 

noises and sure its not a bad fuel filter?

 

Engine cranks and cranks

I pulled the dist cap and got the crap shocked out of me on the rotor button when my wife was cranking it.

However, I pulled a plug and did not see any spark



I did smell gas on the plug.

I'm confused

 

pull your oil cap and have someone crank it and look through the valvecover to see if the camshaft is turning, if not = broken timing belt.

Or he could take the timing belt cover off.

 

The valves are moving. I assume the timing belt is ok? I hope so probable less than 5k on the new belt.

Then your belt should be fine.

 

do these engines have a problem with the distributor?

I took the cap off to make sure the rotor button was spinning and it was.

any other ides?

I don't have a book. any place on the net where I can see a pic of where my main relays and such are?

I should be able to check it if I know where it is.

 

I replaced ing mod and rotor button and cap then I had spark.

however, it turned over a good 30 sec before it caught and started.

I guess it's ok.

at least it's running

 

try new plugs..

 

ya you're right taking off the timing belt cover is way easier then spinning the oil cap off and taking a look.
