mangpo Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 After driving for about 15min I went to a stop light and the engine died and it won't start again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire8 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Mangpo: There can be many reasons why a car quits runnning. Most of the time it's either a shortage of fuel at the combustion chamber, or the lack of spark to ignite the fuel; with lack of (effective) spark the most common culprit. As a starting point, test for spark at the plugs by removing and holding one high-tension wire about an eighth of an inch from the cylinder head, and with the key "on," crank the engine. You should get a spark across the gap.If you don't, this is a trouble-shooting starting point.Report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kinker Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Check the rubber hose on the suction side (gas tank side) of youe fuel pump. These can internally collapse & cause the problem you are describing. These hoses can be obtained from Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts. He advertises regularly in Hemming's. Also check your fuel filter!
