Thanks guy. I put brand new plugs in and no luck. I'm going to go pick up a compression tester and check the fuel pressure. I'll update you afterwards.
The TFI tested bad. I replaced it and the car still won't start. It has spark, it has fuel, the timing is on. It cranks all day long, but never tries to fire. Has brand new plugs and wires. I'm lost here.
Well, I grounded the plug and there is no spark. Sounds like these TFI modules have had a lot of issues from what I've been reading. Guess I'll pull it and go have it tested.
Well, I pulled the plugs and they are fuel soaked and black. The ignition coil and cap both look brand new and are not original equipment. The distributor itself is the original from the looks of it. Is there a way to test these coils?
Car is a 1985 turbo coupe with 44,000 original miles. Car is dead bones stock other than a catback exhaust that a ler shop made. One day it started running like , then wouldnt make boost and eventually was almost impossible to start. The car falls on its face when you hit the throttle. Oil pressure spiked and then dropped again. Not smoking out of the exhaust, oil seems fine. Longest it has ran since it was parked without dying was 30 seconds. Won't even idle. Not really sure where to start here. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!
