Ok, the car died overnight. So I thought immeidatly it was the fuel pump. After listening to it, I can hear the pump running in the tank.
I am aware of the class action lawsuite V. FoMoCo in 2002 for the defective Ignition Module that would fail at temp. However my problem is asymptomatic with this problem, as the car did not die hot, and will not start cold.
If i can not find a suggestion here I will endup buying a new distro w/ ignition module attached. (about $118 from Advanced) however I think I could use some Ideas, because I dont seem to have any juce coming from the coil to the (top of) the distro. anyhow.
so far
I changed the fuel filter, (after depressurizing the system) and there was a slight trickle of fuel from the gasline to the filter. After repalcing the filter I followed the repressureization routine. Nothing. I pulled a spark plug, and it had ashy white buildup. I replaced the plugs, and wires. Nothing The cap was badly worn, so i replaced the rotor and cap. Nothing. Then I checked to see if the timing had gone, I bumped the starter untill the distro. rotor pointed at the #1 plug wire, and slid a screwdriver in to tap on the top of the piston. Then I bumped the starter to spin the rotor around 180 degrees and slid the screwdriver back in and it went to the handle, so I feel the timing is ok. I replaced the Coil (cleaned the bracket and where it mounts to the block to ensure grounding)
as I said, Its getting gas, you can smell it when you try to turn the car over. no spark to plugs, no spark from coil. I dont want to spend another $100 dollars, if it is somthing small that I am overlooking, its happened before. TIA
