i went to start my car and it started and then died. car wants to turn over.battery is fine. think its the fuel pump but not totally sure.any help is greatly appreciated

also as i see all these posts on idle and vacuum leaks there are 2 hoses that run from the intake manifold under the door sill scuff plates into the back seat. any idea what they are doing there?

 

Could be the ignition module which is located on the distributor. They go bad often and would allow the car to crank but not start. It's very inexpensive and easy to change. I would try that first. Make sure to coat the back with silacone if you do change it or it will go bad again quickly b/c of the heat.

 

thanks for the help but now i got the tank off and the metal hoses on the fuel pump bracket broke off and i can't find anywhere to just buy the bracket

 

for the ignition module NEVER use silicone!
use dielectric grease.

you can get a used fuel pump bracket from the junkyard for cheap.
if you are going to modify your beast you may as well put a new higher flowing fuel pump while you have the takn down.

 

yea I bought a 190 walbro.thanks for the help

 

anybody else have any other ideas, i just ordered a new module. cranks but won't start i got spark, battery is fine, i am in the process of replacing the fuel tank and pump, but the old one still worked from what i know of(i hooked it up and could here is suck a little) any other help is greatly appreciated

 

I had the same problem. I swapped plugs, wires, fuel filter, and fuel pump. It ended up being the ignition module. I know you said you ordered it, did you install it yet?

 

i am still waiting for it to come

 

yea i installed that and my fuel pump and it still does the same thing

 

do you have gas going to the engine? if you have spark then you might have a cloged fuel line or check the switch in the trunk or hatch to see if you puped that, just push it down....same thing happened to me a few years ago and thats what it turned out to be
