Hi.
Well earlier this week as I was about to make a turn my car died and the problem is that it won't start up anymore. I went out and got a hynes booklet but the book was worthless. The only book they had was the 86-99 book. It didn't even have the info on the check engine codes so any of you guys know what code means what and which plugs to plug in the diagnostic box then let me know. When I try to start the car it doesn't crank... It sounds normal except there isn't a cranking effect to it. I'm thinking the starter but haven't checked it out yet because I have a busy scheldule except for weekends. If anyone's been through something like this let me know. Oh... I'm also thinking the timing belt but like I said haven't taken the time to open and check yet. |

Hi. Well... I got the alternator and starter checked out at autozone and both worked and tested to oem spec. The timing belt is still intack... All fluids including gas is still close to full. When I start it I can smell gas so that probably means I'm flooding the engine like mad. Can anyone give me the info on which plugs to plug in the diagnostic box so I can see what codes the engine is throwing? Also my last resort is replacing the distributer but I don't know if it's the cap, the distributer itself, or the wires? Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks a lot.
