#168972 you might have some wires that went loose for sometime. it usually happens after tuning since wires were unplugged just recently.try to check your dizzy and your connections.

#169052 OKAY i may have the answer because it sounds similar to the same problem i had a while back.
my car decided to not start all of a sudden but when i gave it a bump start it ran fine.
i thought it was the fuel pump. i could hear it running but i thought the pump could be weak to i replaced it... did nothing.
then i thought it was in ignition coil. while taking it apart i looked at my cap and rotor. Boy was it toast.
picked it up that day put it in and she ran.
not sure if you looked at it already but its worth a shot.
remember to check for the 3 components you need to start the car...
goodluck.

#170010 sounds like its something with the fuel system. Maybe fuel filter clogged or injectors not giving the engine enough fuel to start??????

#172381 checking your injectors is tricky
what i would do is take them out and test if your getting power to them first off
soo hook a volt meter to the plug and have a friend crank it over a few times if there is no voltage then thats your issue i kind of doubt it but try it
next if your geting voltage to all 4 injectors
i would run a ground wire to the ground on the injector then run a 12v to the other side and if you here a click then they are good
hope this helps
and i hope you get it figured out soon

1. unplug both distributor plugs
2. remove spark plug wires from spark plugs
3. remove spark plugs
4. crank motor and listen for fuel pump
5. smell for gas
