Ok so my car died out the other day. i got in, checked the ignition coil since there was no spark, it came in at .6-.7 ohms (according to bgb it should be around 1.75) so i went ahead and replaced. also did cap, rotor, plugs and wires. thought i would also replace fuel filter while i was at it. there was obviously a pretty decent amount of fuel pressure when i went to break the filter free so i wasnt sure if that would have been the sign of a faulty fuel pump either. it still wont start, can anyone lend any advice?

pull the distributor cap, verify the rotor turns 360* 4 times when you crank the engine.
if it dont, timing belt is bad. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Ok so it turned out to be the timing belt, got it changed. but when i went to fire it up it started misfiring on initial crank and only measured about 80-70PSI across the board. I thought the 7afe was non-interference? any ideas? Its been years since ive had to work on any cars so any advice is greatly appreciated.

See if the timing belt is actually time right. You do it yourself or you take it to the shop?

Ok So I got them to show me the timing was accurate and also that it was flooding like crazy (plugs soaked in gas). could defective injectors cause this? i never really had to deal with flooding except on older carb'd cars -------------------- Fred
