Am I in trouble!
Every year or so I clean the engine of my wife's 1991 3000 GTSL (non-turbo). I use Gunk spray and then hose down. Never any problems in the past.
Yesterday I cleaned it well. It did not hit on all cylinders when I started it up but after a few seconds all OK. I then drove it for about a mile and put it in the garage.
This morning my wife wanted to go shopping at the mall .. BIG SALE! The engine turned over as usual but it would not start .. not even a single cylinder kicked over. I then tried, to no avail. I also tried using the usual method for starting a flooded engine .. accelerator pedal down, etc.
I then pushed the car outside in the sun. The temp outside is 113 F in the shade so I expect that the temp of the car in the sun is around
130 F ( I live near Palm Springs, CA .. desert country).After about two hours It still would not start. The battery is good and the starter is just fine. It is acting as if there is no spark to the cylinder. I plan to leave it outside all day and night and retry in the morning.
Any ideas ???? My wife is not happy .. I am in trouble!
